Historia
Narcisa Hirsch (née Heuser, born 1928) is an Argentine experimental filmmaker of German birth. Her work centered on themes of the body, love, sex, death, movement, and the female gaze. Despite this focus on women, she has resisted being labeled as a feminist. She began as a painter, and but her later and better known work centers on performance and film, though she has also written several books. She cites Salvador Dalí and Luis Buñuel as influences to her experimental film work, as well as the Bauhaus artists of Germany. During her time as an experimental filmmaker in Argentina, she frequented the Di Tella Institute and the Goethe Institute, a place where many of her works premiered. Recenlty, her work has been honored through several retrospectives at international film festivals, though it was relatively unknown outside of exclusive circles when it first premiered.

Self
En un viaje a la preservación botánica y cinematográfica, “Herbaria” explora, en sus procesos casi invisibles, las derivaciones artísticas y políticas que conectan los dos mundos. A partir de una narrativa donde el tiempo y el espacio parecen fundirse, las imágenes nos invitan al fascinante universo de preservar la belleza y la memoria de un mundo que insiste en desaparecer.

Twins still in their amniotic fluid announce our human condition, our compulsion to walk, move forward, run. When everything moves, we go through the forest of emotions in a dreamlike way. But it is thanks to water and its light reflections, to its transforming power that the infinite “Kosmos” plays with our uncertainty.

With research that spans the work of philosophers Gilles Deleuze and Martin Heidegger to modern mythologies in which time reversal plays a crucial role — such as failed time machines, speed of light travel, and occult practices involving speech — Stracke combines science and philosophy in an attempt to defy death through cinema and the notion of time reversal.

"...Part of Descendencia was originally shot in 16mm film by the husband of my grandmother. This was in 1928. It was my family’s footage. It was not “found” because it was already there in my family. My grandmother is in it, my mother, me, and my children are in the film, and I believe that one of my grandchildren is in it, also." -NH

Director
A mixture of abstract images and, as if out of a Man Ray painting, a large mouth in the foreground with red lipstick slowly devours a raw liver and then goes on to eat a postcard. Meanwhile, romantic Neapolitan songs play in the background. As Andrea Giunta says: At the same time they function as a hyperbole of the feminine in a register impregnated with pop aesthetics (they are perfect lips and make-up), but in which the flesh introduces an element of deep transgression, with scatological tensions.
