Charles tanzt

1980, Super 8, color, 3 min
Directed by: Ashley Hans Scheirl
Collection: Austrian Film Museum
Like an animal, Charles, wrapped in a rescue blanket, first explores the stairwell, then the apartment. Looking into the oven, he sees his own ass in the spotlight, more or less clothed, dancing to a groovy improvisation by 8 or 9. The film is a reference to Yoko Ono's Film No. 4 (Bottoms) from 1966-67. (Text: Magdalena Steffan/Ashley Hans Scheirl)
