poster girl

As if trapped in the middle of a nightmare, the main protoganist of POSTER GIRL is haunted by disturbing visions, thoughts, and fantasies to which the viewer is likewise privy. She is joined at various points in the video by another woman, whos role in the narrative remains unclear. Is she guardian or demon?

Scheurwater's work consists of short films, video performances and installations which try to express desires, fears and obsessions in an alarming
manner. Through an intuitive way of filmmaking an intimate inner
picture is depicted. These pictures show daydreams (fantasies/nightmares) which in a fragmented manner make a suggestive picture tale visible in which
grotesque doll-like women show their incapacity to contact with the
outside world. The woman as an object, isolated and absent sometimes
thrown back on basic animal instincts "female behaviour".

The short movie is part of the Taking No Shorts program. See the link below for more information.
