Corinna Schnitt: Once Upon A Time October 11, 2011

Corinna Schnitt (German, b. 1964) is a filmmaker and artist whose short films and videos explore absurdity in the everyday. In Once Upon a Time (2005), Schnitt turns the camera on a population of animals that inhabit a middle-class living room. As the animals take over, expectations of domesticity unravel. The exhibition features a video projection of Once Upon a Time, as well as a selection of Schnitt's short films and videos from 1995 through 2005. Schnitt currently teaches at the Hochschule fur Bildende Kunste in Braunschweig, Germany.
