Fragility

• The FemLink's structure is simple: one artist from each country will
create a short video (2mn max.) around a common theme.

30 videos from 30 artists from 30 countries.

• Das Konzept von FemLink ist simpel. Eine Kuenstlerin pro Land erstellt einen kurzen (max. 2 min) Film zu einem gemeinsamen Thema.
In 2006 ist "Fragility" (Zerbrechlichkeit) das Thema aller Videoarbeiten.
Die resultierende Collage aus Videos versteht sich als Bruecke zwischen den Kuenstlerinnen und ihren Herkunftslaendern.
