Judith Slaying Holofernes

PRINTS, VIDEO AND PERFORMANCE, 23 MIN, 2010

Judith Slaying Holofernes is based on the famous Baroque painting with the same name, painted by Artemisia Gentileschi circa 1620. Through stagings and interviews with a student of theology and artist Maya Eizin Öijer, the painting is reconstructed and picked apart. Judith Slaying Holofernes is an analysis, a reenactment as well as a conversation on aesthetics, drama, mythology, belief, conviction, and fabric.
