KATHARINA

WOMaN is a visual exploration of the becoming and realizing of what it means to be a woman in this day and age. An experimental film told from the heart of SUBLIMEBBABY and eyes of Angelo Bote — complex, strong, independent, aggressive, soft, vulnerable. We embrace both masculine and feminine aspects following the woman on screen. “To maintain an interest in life, to laugh at the little/big things. To embrace my feminine energy but let my masculine shine in coexistence. These are my promises to my younger self.”
