Life
In the 1970s and 80s, Tabea Blumenschein was part of the art and culture scene in what was then West Berlin as an actress, director , costume designer , author and artist . Tabea Blumenschein has made films, masks and costumes for Ulrike Ottinger , Herbert Achternbusch and Walter Bockmayer and designed fashion for Claudia Skoda. She became known in 1979 with the film Portrait of a Drinker by Ulrike Ottinger. She was friends with the crime writer Patricia Highsmith , the actor Udo Kier and the dancer Valeska Gert , with whom she also played in the film The Beguiling of the Blue Sailors . In 1976 she was a participant in the happening Regen by Wolf Vostell . In 1980 Blumenschein played in "Liebesgier", a Berlin avant-garde band with Frieder Butzmann and Bettina Köster . Wolfgang Müller , the editor of the Merve book Geniale Dilletanten, commissioned her to illustrate the 1982 manifesto .
From 1980 until its dissolution in 1987, Blumenschein belonged to the music and artist collective Die Tödliche Doris and performed with them in New York, Hamburg, Berlin and Helgoland . She also made costumes, wrote lyrics and music for the band.
In 1985 she was with her then girlfriend Isabell Weiß under the headline: Women who love women can be seen on the cover of the Illustrierte Stern . After her television play Zagarbata, which was filmed by Christoph Dreher on Super-8 (a co-production with ZDF, 1985), she increasingly withdrew and devoted herself to painting and drawing. At the beginning of the 1990s she became temporarily homeless.
For Wolfgang Müller's artist book Die Tödliche Doris - Kostäne (2018) she reconstructed her costumes from the 1980s in the form of drawings.
