BODY OF TRUTH

SYNOPSIS

Artists Marina Abramovic, Sigalit Landau, Shirin Neshat and Katharina Sieverding have been politicized by experiences with war, violence and suppression and integrated them into their work, using the most personal feature available: their own bodies. We accompany them on an emotional journey, reexperiencing the conflicts that have shaped their consciousness. The four women originate from different cultures, whose struggles epitomize the grand conflicts of our time.
