In this series of short films, nine actors each look at one of the artists from the exhibition “CLOSE-UP”. Approaching the subject, they share their impressions in their own way and in their own words. The result, in each case, is a very personal portrait of the artist that says as much about the speaker as about the subject.
The speakers are: Irène Jacob on Berthe Morisot, Martina Gedeck on Mary Cassatt, Luna Wedler on Paula Modersohn-Becker, Meret Becker on Lotte Laserstein, Ángela Molina on Frida Kahlo, Bettina Stucky on Alice Neel, Romana Vrede on Marlene Dumas, Maria Furtwängler on Cindy Sherman, Valerie Pachner on Elizabeth Peyton
