The drama of a woman who attempted a kind of liberal emancipation in a time of upheaval but got caught in the snares of men. A study of Mary Stuart. The contradictoriness and the variety of material with which the person of Mary was surrounded over time gave me the idea of trivialising this "royal story". I compressed the information into images of passion, power, love, pain and death. EXECUTION is a photographic film of single images which alludes to the ambivalence of the two complementary media of film and photography. (Elfi Mikesch, n.d.)
