Moving wheels, threads, reels, hands mixed together in rhythmic symphony, interwoven with images of a woman whose face we never see. Ariadne is a film poem of restlessness and desire. The material was originally shot on 8mm and later blown up. The beautiful soundtrack comprises mechanical sound but also fragments of romantic music. Barbara Meter: ‘Ariadne may suggest the vitality of being in love, the unrest and the agony as well as the romantic fantasies – and is also a tribute to the medium of film itself.’
