Aftershow

Pauline Boudry/Renate Lorenz' film installations and archives often revisit materials and practices from the past, usually photographs, films, texts or songs that under/mined normalcy. Mostly shot in (super-) 16 mm their staged films show distinctive aesthetics that highlight the autonomy of the camera, music, costumes and props and give rise to performances that they define as "temporal drag". Their works show embodiments which are not only able to cross different times, but also to draw relations between these different times, thus revealing possibilities for a queer futurity.

Pauline Boudry and Renate Lorenz live and work in Berlin and collaborate since 1998.
Their last film installation, Toxic, was presented at the Paris Trienniale 2012 as well as in the South London Gallery, the films No Past/ Future were presented at the Swiss off-site Pavilion of the Bienniale of Venice in 2011.
