Ballhead (Kugelkopf)

In Kugelkopf, Mara Mattuschka subversively challenges the
printing press and modern technology with her own body's power. Starting by
shaving and slitting her head with a razor in sheer pleasure, she proceeds to
make marks and patterns with the blood on a glass sheet. The staccato motion of
the ritual duplicates the golf-ball sound of a typewriter. This self-empowering
act satirises violence against women, in particular the eye-slitting sequence
in Luis Bunuel's Un Chien Andalou. (source: werkleitz.de)
