Leda und der Schwan

Kren’s film 7/64 – Leda and the Swan is also based on a Muehl Materialaktion. The almost convulsive use of juxtaposition reappears here, but the captured gesture assumes a more erotic sensitivity, though the “action” itself was primarily a gradual destruction of the erotic. (Steven Dwoskin)
This film developed along the same lines as Mamma und Papa did. Because material was missing – irritated by unforeseen spectators, the action’s female model stopped earlier than expected – Kren inserted the balloon sequence from Mamma und Pappa here as well.
