Florence Freitag (www.florencefreitag.com) is a Berlin based french-german interdisciplinary media and performance artist. Her work moves between collaborative processes in the role of performer, videoartist/documentarist, writer, director or curator. In 2017/2018 part of her artistic and curatorial focus is on her muse and constant inspirational companion Maya Deren. Currently developing a dance performance around Deren’s work, Freitag will take a research-creation approach to Deren’s work, in dialogue with experimental women’s filmmaking inspired by choreographic questions and movement possibilities. In dialogue with Deren’s films and a selection of feminist experimental works, Freitag will trace an “unstable equilibrium”, linked to what she sees as Deren’s “bodily way of filmmaking” as a creative philosophy. Films to be screened in 16mm include: Maya Deren: Meshes of the Afternoon (1943), At Land (1944), A Study in Choreography for Camera (1945), Meditation on Violence (1948); Amy Greenfield: Element (1973), Shirley Clark: Bridges-Go-Round (1958) and Tanya Syed: Delilah (1995).
