Susan Turcot and Lisbeth Burri are close artist friends. We see them engaged in their art. Since 1993, Ute Aurand has filmed Susans exhibitions in Berlin, Lisbeth improvises a performance in her garden outside Zuerich. Filming portraits allows me to emphasize private gestures and moments beyond narration and documentation. Sometimes I collect footage for years like SUSAN then again a portrait like LISBETH was filmed on two occasions.
Studied from 1979-1985 at the German Film and Television Academy Berlin (DFFB);
