This publication offers a selective retrospective of the work of photographer and filmmaker Friedl Kubelka, known as a filmmaker under the name of Friedl vom Gröller. In addition to a selection of her fashion photographs, the book focuses on portraits of her friends and family, as well as series of images and films.
Kubelka started on her long-term project, "Year´s Portraits," in 1972: she photographed herself on a daily basis over a period of one year - a process that has been repeated every five years since. This conceptually-structured work on the subject of self-portraiture produces a complex picture of a woman´s search for her own identity by alternating exaggerated poses of female self-representation with documents of personal retreat. Through the choice of staging and props, minor adventures and personal experiences are hinted at; the individual photographs seem to link up to form a film running at a rate of one frame per day.
Among the artist´s portrait subjects are Franz West, Walter Pichler, Peter Kubelka, as well as central protagonists of the American Independent Cinema such as Jack Smith, Bruce Conner, Hollis Frampton, Kenneth Anger, Jonas Mekas, George and Mike Kuchar, and many more. Most of the images gathered together here are published for the first time in book form.
Includes a DVD Multizone, PAL, 64 minutes with a selection of Friedl vom Gröller's 16mm films.

Part Time Heroes (2007, color, 33 min)
Running Sushi (2008, color, 28 min)
Burning Palace (2009, color, 32 min)
These films are based on choreographic works by LIQUID LOFT.
These three films made in collaboration with the choreographer Chris Haring are explorations of performative processes and filmic narration.
Haring stages his productions in bare spaces, from which Mattuschka makes films which correspond to cinematic rules of setting and dramaturgy. She extends her perspective as a painter into her cinematic approach. Up-close views of the body, from below, from above. Views which distort perspective. With digital retouching, she designs places, architectures, and spatialities.

From Kurt Kren's cinema of compression till actual digital abstractions: an exemplary DVD collection that makes available, for domestic use, half a century of avant-garde film and video. (Stefan Grissemann, Profil n°45)
On the other side of the short-films planet, it is now possible to know everything about Austrian experimental cinema, thanks to INDEX DVD series. (Jacques Kermabon, Bref n°64)
We should earnestly applaud the arrival of the new INDEX label, specializing in the heretofore marginal, seldom spied, and transnationally uncharted corners of the Austrian and international avant-garde. (Robert Mark Grossman and Andrew Grossman, Bright Lights n°49)
