7/64 Leda and the Swan
| Krenīs 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 actionīs female model stopped earlier than expected - Kren inserted the balloon sequence from Mamma und Pappa here as well. (Hans Scheugl: "Die Filme. Eine kommentierte Filmographie," in: (ed.) Scheugl Ex Underground Kurt Kren. Seine Filme, Vienna 1996)
