Ashley Hans Scheirl, Vienna, 23 June 2020
“So now we probably have to talk about narcissistic disorders of self-esteem.”
With films like “Flaming Ears” and “Dandy Dust”, the 1980s saw Scheirl attain cult status in the realm of international queer avant-garde cinema. Together with Jakob Lena Knebl, her partner in life and work, she will be presenting her art in the Austrian Pavilion at the 2022 Venice Biennale as well as at the Palais de Tokio in Paris in 2023: timely reasons for a conversation with Ashley Hans Scheirl—about angels, naming, and the libidinous economy, and about how to develop ideal settings in which the exuberant joy of play and creativity can unfold.
