Kerma

A documentary by Alice Trott

A meditative retrospective into artist, Ingrid Kerma, uncompromising in her pursuit of artistic expression and discoveries of form, emptiness, reality, and attachment. This is a rare view into the roots of Kerma's unfettered creative processes, philosophical influences, and experimentation that intrinsically shape her identity as an artist, mother, daughter and partner. Kerma challenges the antithetical commodification and commercialisation of her work which seeks not to conform but instead connect to profound phenomenological and existential self-discovery. If the intention is not to make art, does art’s most authentic expression then become a paradox? This portrait of Kerma is a retrospective that traces queer love, fragmented motherhood, volatility, faith, and determination.

Score composed by Philippa Godsalve and Arthur Davies Evitt
