Eva Medusa Gühne, Locarno Film Festival 2016

Eva Medusa Gühne (* 1961 in Berlin ) is a German actress . She is the daughter of the actor Erich Gühne ( Roberto Rossellini , " Germany in the year zero ").

Life

She left Berlin with her parents a year after the Wall was built and grew up in Bad Homburg. There she enjoyed classical ballet training as a child with Alice Kaluza . At the age of 15 she made her debut at the Fritz Rémond Theater in Frankfurt am Main, starring under the direction of Boleslaw Barlog with Hans Krull , Inge Meysel and Christian Rode . After training as an actor using the Strasberg method in Berlin and New York, she worked for 10 years as an actress in independent off-theater productions in Berlin (including several Sam Shepard plays. In “The Elephant Man”, “The Bacchus” and as a rapist in " Extremities ").

Since 1997 she has been traveling with her own comedy troupe “Zeter und Mordio” (explanation of the word: Zetermordio ) across Germany. Her performance as a pale abbess, in particular, impresses adults and scares many children.

Roles in film and TV followed (including "The Blue Hour", " Wie Feuer und Flamme ", " Prussisch Gangstar ", "Der Junge Siyar / For snoen faller". " Crime scene: Death of an old woman ". "Wolffs Revier" , “ For all cases Stefanie ”, “ Stars of the South ”, “ SOKO Wismar ”). She plays the main role in the short film "Etage X" by Francy Fabritzl, which was screened with great success at various film festivals in 2016/17: Locarno International Film Festival , Festival Internacional de Cine de San Sebastián , Hof International Film Festival and the rating "particularly valuable" of the German Film and Media Assessment (FBW) . In Francy Fabritz's new short film “Revolvo”, which premiered at the Hof International Film Festival 2019, she plays the leading role again. And this short film, too, bears the title “particularly valuable”.

In the video project "3x3x6" by Taiwanese artist Shu Lea Cheang for the 58th Venice Biennale 2019, curated by Paul B. Preciado , she can be seen as a playmate of Casanova. And in the excessive and disturbing video project "Qu'un sang impur" by the winner of the National Gallery Prize 2019, Pauline Curnier Jardin in the Hamburger Bahnhof - Museum für Gegenwart - Berlin , she is the wild, bleeding woman. The short film premieres at the International Film Festival Rotterdam 2020 as “Bled out” .
