ART GIRLS by Robert Bramkamp asks just these questions, as a satire of the art world in a science fiction format - or is it the other way around? "ART GIRLS is a science fiction from Germany, 2013, with three Berlin artists at the center of the action. Using real art by Susanne Weirich, Maren Strack, Öyvind Fahlström, Jonathan Meese, Martin Kippenberger, Paul McCarthy and many more. The artists notice that features of their art extend into the real world. They even overlap, creating a truly multi-layered, three-dimensional film world. In ART GIRLS and NEUE NATUR, art and film finally meet at eye level," says Georg Seesslen. The protagonist Nikita Neufeld (Inga Busch) learns in the emergency room: "There is nothing supernatural. We were sub-sensory." Seesslen's summary: ART GIRLS is funny, exciting and entertaining, but not an entertainment film. Instead, the film itself behaves and develops like a living being. I mean, I've seen the future of cinema." (Sooner curator Robert Bramkamp) A romantic science fiction film set in Hamburg and Berlin in the netherworld between science and art. Starring Inga Busch, Peter Lohmeyer, Megan Gay and Jana Schulz and feature artworks by Susanne Weirich, Paul McCarthy, Martin Kippenberger, Joseph Beuys et al. "Clearly a global cultural signpost for the art of the 21st century." (Huffington Post)
