Who gets to show what? And who is being looked at? REPRODUCTION looks at three generations of women to examine the ideal images of women in art: The largerthan-life male genius on the wall - and the selflessly loving mother carved in stone. Does one ideal exclude the other? Like a tableau and in concentrated movements, the film describes power, class and gender relations across three generations of women, tells of discarded drawings and unfinished careers: The assumptions and demands of each role are reproduced in different ways - until they disappear in care work. In the process, something of the exclusion criteria of institutions, of the power system of an art academy and its spaces, becomes visible. REPRODUCTION is an architectural journey through time, on the trail of stories that have disappeared. Stories of women artists.
