Synopse
DOCUMENTARY Strong, radical and provocative: the film accompanies four female artists on a fascinating, emotional journey through their pasts. Their life stories are marked by social conflict and personal experiences of war, violence and repression – which they turn into political art: Serbian performance artist Marina Abramović, israeli sculptress Sigalit Landau, German photographer Katharina Sieverding and Iranian media artist Shirin Neshat come from different cultures, but have a common, radical unwillingness to compromise. Their means of expression are the most personal they have: their bodies.
