Still from the Film “The ErlKing - Altar for Shiva”

Goethe’s lyric “Der Erlkönig” is the departure point for Bettina WitteVeen’s poetic and atmospheric short film. The film unfolds a ‘paysage moralisé’ of historic, philosophical and spiritual messages held firmly together at the roots by the allegorical graft WitteVeen made between “Der Erlkönig” and the narrative of Hindu God Shiva, the Cosmic Dancer and Lord of Destruction, purifier of Karma and deity of both Agni (Fire) and Indra (Sleep).

The Film is nominated for the “New Writing Prize” and the “Discovery Prize”.

For this 5th edition, cutlog 2013 moves in two new locations. The program proposed by numerous french and international artists, curators and galleries will underline this magnificent diversity. Everyday from noon to midnight at cutlog and the cutlog club, we will show painting, drawing, sculpture, video, installation, performance, prize... Paris and cutlog will be transformed into a cultural center and a festive place.
