A brilliantly unconventional investigation into the career of a 

visionary German filmmaker and the untimely death of art cinema.



ULRIKE OTTINGER: The Autobiography of Art Cinema

Laurence A. Rickels

University of Minnesota Press | 232 pages | 2008

ISBN 978-0-8166-5330-0 | hardcover | $66.00

ISBN 978-0-8166-5331-7 | paperback | $22.00



Laurence A. Rickels offers analyses of Ulrike Ottinger's films, as 

well as her photographic artworks, situated within a dazzling thought 

experiment centered on the history of art cinema. In addition to 

commemorating the death of a once-vital art form, this book also 

affirms Ottinger's defiantly optimistic turn toward the documentary 

film as a means of mediating present clashes between tradition and 

modernity, between the local and the global.



Laurence A. Rickels is professor of German and comparative 

literature, as well as adjunct professor in the departments of art 

and film and media studies, at the University of California, Santa 

Barbara. He is also Sigmund Freud Professor of Media and Philosophy 

at the European Graduate School in Saas Fee, Switzerland. His writing 

is renowned for its stylistic experimentation, and as a theorist he 

takes seriously the task of finding form for thought.
