dara birnbaum

video installation in the donau-universität krems

Dara Birnbaum addresses the frequently undervalued aspect of femininity in the Faust myth with her video installation Damnation of Faust (1984), which is dedicated to the character Gretchen. Mounted photographs from the original video trilogy in Krems, Evocation and Will O' The Wisp, are shown next to a photograph over coloured areas on the wall.

The project has been returned to the Landessammlungen Niederösterreich in 2018 and is no longer on view.
