Katrina Daschner - Hiding in the Light

Hiding in the Light features Katrina Daschner presenting the first five parts of her film series currently in production, which is loosely based on Arthur Schnitzler’s novella Dream Story. In her new interpretation, the artist questions and re-interprets some of the aspects of the original book. For example, her focus is on outsourced fantasies and a long-term couple abandoning its heteronormative structures.

Every single film, also standing for itself, opens up a new space that is briefly entered, leaving room for cravings and longings without wording them concretely. In addition, all parts present a new stage area that acts as both scenery and protagonist. Daschner’s aesthetic reveals the physicality and movements of the depicted objects without ever assigning them to a gender. This way, the montage creates an equal level for objects, animals, spaces and the performers, in which persons transform to emotionally acting characters just as sculpturally as the objects do.

Katrina Daschner, born in Hamburg, lives in Vienna as an artist and filmmaker. She presents her projects in international exhibitions and at film festivals such as the International Short Film Festival Oberhausen, Mumok Kino Vienna, Blickle Kino 21er Haus Vienna, Diagonale Graz, New Horizon Int. Film Festival Wroclaw, Galerie Krobath Vienna / Berlin, GFZK Leipzig, Centre d’art passerelle Brest, Thrust Projects New York, the Hamburg International Short Film Festival etc. At brut, she recently hosted CLUB BURLESQUE BRUTAL from 2009 to 2014.

There is an artist talk following the screening, moderated by Claudia Slanar and DJing by Denice Bourbon at the bar.
