In „Kugelkopf“, Mara Mattuschka subversively challenges the printing press and modern technology with her own bodys power. Starting by shaving and slitting her head with a razor in sheer pleasure, she proceeds to make marks and patterns with the blood on a glass sheet. The staccato motion of the ritual duplicates the golfball sound of a typewriter. This selfempowering act satirises violence against women, in particular the eye-slitting seqence in Luis Buñuels „Le Chien Andalou“.
