Film and _ #2 Queercore: Ursula Pürrer & Ashley Hans Scheirl

Film and _ is an open invitation to exchange ideas: the new series of events at Blickle Kino aims to shed light on artist film, both historical and contemporary positions, explicitly in its interrelationships with other visual, applied and time-based art forms and to (re)activate them with regard to their current potential.

The second edition of the series focuses on the close collaboration between Ursula Pürrer and Ashley Hans Scheirl in the 1980s, specifically on the resulting films, which seem like a stroke of liberation and are original in (queer) film/art history. The collaborative work is an expression of a DIY cinema bursting with passion, which attempts to fill subjectively perceived voids, produces (sexual) fantasy worlds and playfully combines performance art, painting, drawing, stage design, (punk) music with sexual fetishes and expressive cinematic borrowings from science fiction film. Unusual costumes, expressive make-up, self-made objects and props, animated scenes or self-modulated (city) models characterize the visual level of these films, in addition to a queer/lesbian sign language in which everyday objects and symbols are sexually subverted or perverted. In addition to humorously staged S/M practices, piss games are part of the sexual vocabulary that comes into action in the erotically charged women* spaces and establishes community relationships with artistic means. The films are an expression of consistently positive sexual energies, which do not give a damn about bourgeois sexual and moral concepts and celebrate sexual pluralism.
