Material Bodies
Dorothy Allen-Pickard
»I would love to be able to shift to viewing my prosthetics as an accessory. I want to be able to make them look badass.« Interweaving dance and dialogue scenes, the experimental film examines five artists’ relationship to their amputated limbs and prosthetics. Always an aid and an eye-catcher in everyday life, prosthetics can also be part of their users’ identity, a friend or a dance partner – and above all a means with which they can develop and express themselves personally.
