Carlotta's Face - Trailer from Fabian&Fred on Vimeo.
As a child, Carlotta didn't expect the people around her to have faces. She even doesn't recognize her own face. Years later, she learns about a rare, untreatable deficit of her brain. It was art, after all, that offered her a way to finally recognize herself.
Director's Statement
In my scientific work, I aim to uncover the mysteries of human brain function. Carlotta has tremendously broadened my knowledge about this fascinating organ by highlighting the importance of personal, non-objectifiable perception. Any one of us has a different view of the world. With lots of passion, Frédéric Schuld has translated Carlotta's individual perception into drawings that were fully inspired by her lithographic self-portraits.
