Annegret Soltau:
I was on a quest
Sculptor Baldur Greiner tells his wife’s personal story including the crucial and sometimes traumatic obstacles she overcame, which would shape her art. Annegret Soltau controlled, harnessed and sewed her emotions into her work. Threads and lines become traces of a life that do not veil the selbst but rather expose it as a totality.

A Biographical Portrait:
„60 years and a little bit wiser“
What shaped me in childhood was deprivation. Compared to that time, my life now seems so full in every way – almost as if I were now being allowed to experience the other side of the coin. The deprivation I experienced had such an effect on me that my present life, the person I am now, revolves around it to a great extent. And the loneliness that I often experienced in my childhood is now part of my life as an artist.
Does art have to be beautiful?
A portrait of Annegret Soltau
Director Gérard Schwarz from vollbild audiovisuell met the renowned feminist artist Annegret Soltau in her studio. The result is a very personal portrait that brings us closer to the person and her art.

”When I tear out the face of my own portrait, it is not the aspect of destruction which interests me, but I want to find new meanings and significant connections.“
