There is a garden in my head

Jacques Verbeek, Karin Wiertz / Netherlands / 1987 / 4 min.


synopsis

Disguised as an unfamiliar landscape, a woman strides through the centuries as an object of romantic sensuality, a decadent ornament, or a torch of the sexual revolution. The animated tapestry of flora and fauna presents the female body as an erotic, decorative and symbolic element.

biography

Dutch artists Karin Wiertz (1946) and Jacques Verbeek (1947) created a series of experimental films together between 1971 and 1988, combining animation, photography and collage.
