Idea Presentation | 30.10.2012
I presented my ideas on a project about the theme of Lustmord in Weimar, Germany. This included a short poem and a single photograph as a jumping off point.
Concept Development / First Visual Experiment | 20.11.2012
After two weeks of research and individual meetings with Gunnar Green I have developed my concept further and chose to focus on the artist George Grosz. George Grosz created a series of drawings and paintings around the theme of Lustmord in the Weimar Republic between 1922-1933.
I created a short video titled 'Lustmord: A Love Story' which uses a combination of photographs of George Grosz, Eva Grosz, images of his paintings and drawings, clips from the film Metropolis and a performance of 'Falling in Love Again' by Marlene Dietrich.
