Description
"While consciously placing themselves at the confluence of two major lineages—that of ritual filmmakers (S. M. Eisenstein, Maya Deren, Kenneth Anger...) and the less populated one of female filmmakers and visual artists (Germaine Dulac, Maya Deren again, Carolee Schneemann...)—the work of Maria Klonaris and Katerina Thomadaki is unlike any other. Entirely driven by research into the figuration of the body, it has found brilliant visual means and forged numerous theoretical instruments to develop in images a thought that is both critical and affirmative."
— Nicole Brenez
"These two artists, these two women, created the concept of the 'double author' which remains, to my knowledge, unique. [...] Double Labyrinthe, a crucial film and first co-signed work, magnificently illustrates how their political method, the double creator, inflects the poetics of images, women's bodies and their expressivity."
— Laura Mulvey
