Hail Marys

The Berlin premiere of Celia Rowlson-Hall’s Ma (previously screened at MoMA PS1 and the Venice Film Festival) paired with m/Other, a video by Berlin artist Miloš Trakilović. Ma is told through the movement of silent bodies. m/Other is a non-narrative, bodiless exploration of verbality. The two works together are a re-assemblage of dislocated parts, modes of communication, methods of expression and maternal schisms.

ABOUT
 
MA (2015, 80 mins) is the award-winning silent feature film by U.S. filmmaker Celia Rowlson-Hall. Staged against the stark landscape of the American Southwest, Rowlson-Hall choreographs a feminist retelling of the pilgrimage of the Virgin Mary. Androgyny complicates a gendered burden / kitsch Americana is this film’s holy iconography.

M/OTHER (2015, 4 mins) is a video art piece by Berlin-based artist Miloš Trakilović. It shatters the maternal image into shards; it is a formal meditation on language / an inarticulate articulation / a pulsating digital womb / an interrogation of maternal self-annihilation and absorption in an Other. // Artist Homepage
