Anna

Anna remembers stories from her childhood that were told so often that they became part of her own self-image. Anna as an overweight child in ballet class, Anna with a friend’s family in Venice, Anna as a teenager in a disco. These memories are part of an identity defined by the fat body, by the internalised sense of being wrong.

ANNA is the third hybrid short film by werkgruppe2, which they developed and realised in collaboration with the performer Katharina Bill. The texts were taken verbatim from interviews with overweight women.
