STEPHANIE PFLAUM. Between Skin and Space
In Stephanie Pflaum’s world of artistic expression, materiality, tactility, and spatiality merge into a deeply personal narrative about the human experience. The film Between Skin and Space takes us into an intimate realm where the artist examines the inner and outer dimensions of being. Pflaum describes the cycle of creation, decay, and restoration not only as a universal process but as a central theme of her work.
The portrait features symbolically charged spaces that represent Pflaum’s artistic world—from the room in morning light, reflecting her sense of otherness and search for a personal language, to the attic, serving as a retreat for introspection and reflection. These spaces become mediums for conveying the layers of her thoughts and emotions. Through cinematic storytelling, we delve into her narrative of vulnerability, beauty, and constant restoration—core elements of her artistic practice.
Pflaum highlights the role of symbols and materials such as latex, plaster, and hands, which serve as tools of connection in her work. Her art becomes not just a mirror of emotions but an invitation to experience the universal fragility and resilience of being human. The film focuses on these symbolic elements and centers Pflaum’s own voice.
Notably, this artist portrait was developed as an innovative short film format for both vertical and horizontal screens. The vertical version, titled DocuShorts, offers a new way of presenting artistic portraits for digital networking and social media platforms.
