Hommage à Maria Klonaris

Maria Klonaris, who sadly passed away a year ago, has left an oeuvre defined by the strength of her artistic and feminist commitments. Together with Katerina Thomadaki, they have been subverting gender and exploring the identity of female body through their films, performances, installations and multimedia works. The two films presented in this tribute to the artist, Pulsar (2001) and Selva. A Portrait of Parvaneh Navaï (1981-83), illustrate the singularity of Klonaris' and Thomadaki's cinéma corporel (cinema of the body) which has left a strong mark on the experimental scene in Paris.
