In the early 1960s, the American artist Carolee Schneemann began to extend painting into space and involve her body in her work. At the Judson Church in Manhattan, she created revolutionary group performances. With “Fuses”, she realized the fist sexually explicit film that militated for the right to a feminine esthetics of desire. Carolee Schneemann continues to maintain a fluctuating border between the private and the political.
In her interview with Andrea Saemann and Chris Regan, Carolee Schneemann talks about her work and gives glimpses into her way of thinking. The DVD edition includes a booklet with an essay by Katrin Grögel.
