In the interview, Aki Nakazawa speaks about the concept of her work, Lola / What Loreley wanted to speak. „I don’t know what it may mean…” With this famous poem by a German poet, Heinrich Heine, Loreley, a woman in a legend of the river Rhein, is well known as a femme fatale with beautiful hair and fascinating voice. She invites sailors with her singing voice to die and it is a very romantic, mysterious and beautiful fable. A story of Lola, a today’s woman, crosses Loreley’s story and reveals why Loreley sings.
My video is not really art and not really cinema either. (...) Somehow it was my small art statement.It shows a suppressed emotion of a famous figure made by men and typical femininity that society expects. The shouting of Lola and Loreley breaks this taboo to liberate them from stereotypes and to express what they want.
