Arnold Schwarzenegger – The Art of Bodybuilding

| Distribution in Profile: Eye Experimental
(kleines BALi, KulturBahnhof Kassel)

A new work made by BABETH Mondini-VanLoo in collaboration with Eye Filmmuseum, consisting of unprocessed, original 16mm material which she shot during the Mr. Olympia Bodybuilding contest in the 1970s and an interview with Schwarzenegger by Raymond Mondini recorded just after. In her art installation Sculpting the Body she presented him as a living work of art. The installation is unfortunately lost, but the original recordings have been used for a new cut. Because the sound of the recording could not be synchronized with the image, the text of the interview has been visualized on screen.
