BIO

Liz Rosenfeld is a video, film, writer and performance artist who is currently based in Berlin. Her work utilizes modes of performance through film and video in order to convey a sense of past and future histories through moving images.

Liz’s current film work deals primarily with issues of queer identity, revisionist history, transient bodies, pop culture icons and different kinds of public and private transitional space. Investing in concepts of how we remember our own history, as well as how we situate ourselves within larger ones, is an idea that is at the crux of Liz’s work. “ Surface Tension,” Liz’s current film project examines queer Weimar, Berlin, and incorporates re-written stories of queer people from this historical time with documentarian strategies. “ Surface Tension,” is an experimental documentary, which examines the importance of ephemeral relationships between queer peoples during the Weimar Period in Berlin, and how these relationships have been recorded and recorded to impact queer history occurring today. Surface Tension is slated to begin production in September, 2008.
