Here she exposes, re-exposes and superimposes film and bodies. Ancient sculpture is the starting point of a dialogue with her own body, a fine alloy of the organic and the mineral.
The series had not been seen before. It calls up centuries of art in a contemporary gaze and, though made entirely on film, it is unbearable to our prudish screens. The very large format also carries a continuous literary whisper, a new gesture for her: a text woven with the pictures that stretches and lights what is being laid bare.
