getty abortions
Franzis Kabisch, AT/DE 2023, 22 min, German OmeU
What images shape our society and how do they influence our perception? In this precisely constructed desktop film, Franzis Kabisch explores the one-dimensional portrayal of abortion in the media. In a playful, essayistic form, 'getty abortions' takes us from 90s BRAVO magazines through an archive of stock photos and scientific papers to personal and imaginary stories. The symbolic images themselves are scrutinized, as are their possible interpretations. Accompanied by a galloping sound design, Kabisch examines prevailing image constructs: She dissects, dismantles and reassembles them like a collage. An attempt to counter the dominant media representation. (fb)
