Description
Russian premiere
Building on my background in academic drawing, I create a painting that reinterprets Rubens’ Roman Charity from the viewpoint of its female figure. This painting then appears as a prop in the video, becoming a means to inscribe my own biography and to explore questions of gaze, female subjectivity, memory, and the boundaries of the permissible.
