Ulrike Ottinger Film, Art and the Ethnographic Imagination

The first English-language scholarly collection of articles on the German artist and filmmaker Ulrike Ottinger.

This book collects international scholarship on the Berlin-based artist and filmmaker Ulrike Ottinger. These articles engage with the full range of her works, from the early Berlin feature films of the 1970s and 1980s to ethnographic documentaries and art exhibitions, photography shows, installations, and artist books. The collection brings together feminist film theorists with art historians and cultural theorists, each with a distinctive and detailed perspective on the queer fabulist genres of Ottinger, now in her eighties.
