Dagie Brundert arbeitet seit den 1980er Jahren mit Film, sowohl im Bereich der Fotografie als auch des Filmemachens. Ihr Werk konzentriert sich hauptsächlich auf das Super-8-Format, mit dem sie zahlreiche Filme gedreht hat. Inspiriert von Wabi-Sabi, einer japanischen Ästhetik, die im Buddhismus verwurzelt ist und die Schönheit von Unvollkommenheit und Unvollständigkeit feiert, hat sie ihre eigenen einzigartigen Techniken zur Filmverarbeitung entwickelt.
Im Laufe der Zeit hat sie sich auf umweltfreundliche Methoden spezialisiert und dabei alltägliche Materialien wie überreifes Obst und Gemüse oder auf der Straße gefundene Blumen und Pflanzen verwendet. Dagie ist zur Expertin in allen Aspekten der Super-8-Filmentwicklung geworden. In dieser kleinen Retrospektive werden einige von Dagis Arbeiten aus den letzten 25 Jahren vorgestellt.

Dagie Brundert has been working with film since the 1980s, both in photography and filmmaking. Her work primarily focuses on the Super 8 format, through which she has created numerous films. Inspired by wabi-sabi, a Japanese aesthetic rooted in Buddhism that celebrates the beauty of imperfection and incompleteness, she has developed her own unique film-processing techniques.
Over time, she has specialized in eco-friendly methods, using everyday materials like overripe fruits and vegetables from the fridge, or flowers and plants found on the street. Dagie has become an expert in all aspects of Super 8 film development.
