 Rosemarie Trockel
«Tweedle»

Along with 'Wollfilm' (Wool Film), 'Tweedle'is part of the complex of works that, due to their ironic modification of knitting images, could be titled 'Knitting Video'. The reduction to a playful pattern of moving impressions recalls early abstract German experimental films and gives her videographic work a poetic quality that stands in significant counterpoint to the presentation of other, more social, psychological, or narrative works.
