IZZI BIZZI - "STFU", 2019

7 minutes

for IZZI BIZZI's debut release track "STFU" on BIPØLAR. starring dancer and performer Patrizia Bieri.
IZZI BIZZI's track as well as Patrizia Bieris hypnotising, energetic and unapologetically feminine dance performance along with the supporting visuals are telling a tale of female empowerment: Breaking free from the shackles of our own self doubts and transcending above it as an act of rebellion. Our biggest goal was to create a platform within the techno-scene for different artists to join forces and showcase their art in an independent and self-funded collaboration project.

FREI_RAUM, 2019

Feminist short, 3 minutes

FREI_RAUM is an observation on everyday acts of male dominance, more so than about public transport etiquette. Because the phenomenon of "Manspreading" is a symptom of a much larger problem and not just a minuscule thing - it is an act of dominance that is the result of deep-rooted societal privilege borne of our patriarchal society.

For all my sisters out there.
