Une exploration filmique, photographique et multimedia.
The power of the inside
Since the dawn of time, women have been associated with matter, the sensitive, the irrational, sexuality and nature.
I wonder about this female body, which has the power to be the only one to materialize life on earth.
I also wonder about the Science that has liberated the female body from domestication and at the same time keeps it under control.
My intention is not to pass judgment or to oppose two myths, the scientific versus the feminine, but to raise questions about the hold of the mind over matter, of culture over nature, of control over the sensible, or of power over the power-of-in, the power of life.
My research was enriched by women's stories about their intimate journey and by the stories of women biologists, gynecologists and psychoanalysts.
From there, a filmic, photographic and multimedia exploration was born.
