Ulrike Ottinger Summary

Ulrike Ottinger: Film, Art and the Ethnographic Imagination by Prof. Angela McRobbie

The first English language scholarly collection of articles on the leading Berlin based German artist and film-maker Ulrike Ottinger. The articles engage with the full range of the works, from the early Berlin feature films of the 1970s and .'80s to the ethnographic documentaries also including the art exhibitions, photography shows, installations, and artist books. The book 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 80s.

Ulrike Ottinger Reviews

'With a monstrous capacity to make images (Rifkin) and a career thats so far spanned 60 years, filmmaker, artist, photographer, Ulrike Ottinger remains a huge figure. This monumental collection of essays and commentaries offers an essential tribute to Ottingers importance. Accessible, enlightening and scholarly, the breadth and comprehensiveness of Angela McRobbies Ulrike Ottinger: Film, Art and the Ethnographic Imagination, will undoubtedly introduce her work to new audiences. This important book achieves two striking things: it demonstrates how contemporary Ottinger will always be and cements her legacy and reputation as one of the most significant and influential artists of the 20th and 21st centuries.'

-- Stella Bruzzi FBA, Dean of Arts and Humanities and Professor of Film Studies, UCL

'The wonderfully heterodox nature of Ulrike Ottingers work is captured here by leading scholars from a number of fields, lending this collection of essays a prismatic quality. Paying homage to the variety of form, from film and photography to sculpture and installations, and always with an eye to artifice, what comes into focus above all else is Ottingers unending romance with performance and provocation. The currents of thought travelling through these essays explore the ways in which the performative in Ottingers work meets the particularity of place, only to confound the idea that one is fluid and the other fixed; indeed, a documentary may turn out to be a fable, and often does. Much more than a guide to Ottingers prodigious output, although it serves that purpose too, this book provides a timely critical engagement with one of the most prolific and singular artists of our times.'

-- Janet Harbord, Queen Mary, University of London
