Record information – Details Fonds/collection:MANGAARD, AnnetteAccession:1988-0220Media:FilmPart:1 of 1Production date:1985/1986Production credit:director, Annette MangaardDescription:An exploration of "woman being set up as an icon and put on a pedestal." Mangaard, a former model, presents the Ideal Woman as she has been portrayed through the millenia. Along with the Willendorf Venus and the Venus de Milo, Princes Anne makes an appearance in this quickie polemic. Mangaard, who began her career as a painter, endows her films with enough visual effects to fill half a dozen exhibitions. Footage shot in Super 8 is reshot in 16mm and printed optically frame by frame. The result is a grainy textured look with images saturated in color. As she says, "It's a lot like painting." <5mn>Language:EnglishTechnique:EXPERIMENTALDetailed holdings information: -
