muttermund
For the english version please scroll down.
Dieser stumme Film besteht aus einem schwarzen Hintergrund mit Untertiteln. Diese Reduktion evoziert jedoch umso intensiver eigene Bilder. „muttermund“ thematisiert den emotionalen und körperlichen Missbrauch eines Kindes durch seine Mutter. Der Doppeldeutigkeit des Titels entspricht das Doppelspiel von mütterlichem Urvertrauen und der zwiefachen Gewalt durch verbale und physische Attacken.

muttermund
„muttermund“ is a double-meaning title. The result of the literally translation in English would be „mother mouth“. In German the meaning of muttermund is uterine orifice. The title of this piece is a play on words – the association of two organs – between the womb and the mouth of the mother.

This silent movie consists of a black screen with subtitles. By this means ever so intense individual images are evoked with the viewer. „muttermund“ is dealing with the physical and emotional abuse of a child by its mother. The ambiguity of the German title correlates with motherly instincts on the one hand and violence executed by verbal and physical attacks on the other hand.
