EXPERIMENTAL

Ines has produced close to twenty experimental 16mm films and videos that have screened widely at film festivals, independent cinemas, and alternative venues in the U.S. and Germany. They range from micro-shorts to the feature-length hybrid Ghost Cities, which mixes fiction and documentary footage to trace the downward spiral of a woman who has slipped off the social ladder into an abyss of urban dreams and social invisibility. Ines' interest in politics, history, and the essay form informed My Germany: Unqualified Remarks of a Distant Observer, an award-winning video essay that reflects on her own upbringing in Germany and what her generation was taught about the Holocaust.
Among Ines' experimental shorts are Red Shoe and A Still Life of Postcards, which focus on women's roles and motherhood, while mud & glory and The Fetishism of Commodities and the Secret Thereof skewer archetypes and consumer culture with a light touch. Included in a special Super-8 program at the Berlin International Film Festival, Que la lumière soit is Ines' small gauge tribute to the Lumiere Brothers' pioneering films. Full filmography available upon request.

INSTALLATIONS

Stormy Sea (2020) video loop installation
Stormy Sea was exhibited as part of ART-IN-PLACE, a project of CNL Projects and Terrain Exhibitions that invited artists to exhibit an original work of art outside their home or from a window visible to the public between May-August 2020. This collective action provided artists and community members in Chicagoland neighborhoods with a sense of hope and connectivity through the experience of public art during an unprecedented moment of isolation.
Other installations have included unmoored as part of the Hyde Park Art Center's show Fast Forward : Rewind : Play and hydrodynamic locomotion for bathtub, a film loop installation at the Chicago Underground Film Festival.
