- Description
- The video "Glauben Sie nicht, dass ich eine Amazone bin" [Don’t Believe I am an Amazon] is based on the video live-action of the same title by Ulrike Rosenbach, in which she shot several arrows at a target on which she had mounted a reproduction of Stefan Lochner’s late medieval painting "Madonna im Rosenhag". The action belongs to a group of works in which the artist engages with historical cultural images of women as mothers, housewives, saints, prostitutes, or Amazons. In the video, Ulrike Rosenbach cross-fades her face as an Amazon with that of the Madonna.
