The video Mutterwitz is a symbolic drama, exploring Kant's notion of judgement and the representation of a relationship between thinking and judging. The layering of images and the competing presence of spectacle create a theatre of questioning and debate. The perception of beauty as an inalienable human trait, contradicted by the extreme changes observed in images of female beauty at different historical times suggests that beauty will not serve as a foundation for the Platonic absolutism of the soul and that innocent longing for Edenic grace contributes to a world of judgement and cruelty.
Video images are combined with documentation of a performance by the artist, who pulled herself around a sixty-three foot track containing twenty gallons of milk for six days. Mutterwitz longs for the redemptive, reconciliatory power of art in a world of suffering and violence.
