herspace

In her video work herspace, Berlin artist Ina Wudtke addresses the working conditions of female dj’s, in which Ina Wudtke herself plays the part of four different dj personae, that are interviewed about their work. The discourse material on which these ‘fictitious’ interviews are based are real interviews that Ina Wudtke made with a great number of international female break beats dj’s. The visual material is edited with DJ techniques. Wudtke’s video offers an ironic portrait of women in the margin of the music business, struggling with its sexism and self-consciously trying to do things differently.
