Des yeux sur moi, Lucile Rose

Exacerbated incarnation of femininity, Gertrude asserts an uncontrolled sexuality and fertility that endow her with irresistible power. She will impose her desire to the point of murder and destruction—that of the State, the family, and herself. With Barker, Lucile Rose decides to look head-on at the scandal provoked by female desire, examining the impulses of control and possession it unleashes. Beyond all morality, Des yeux sur moi questions representations of femininity conveyed by literary and pictorial myths. From this supposed lack of topicality, what should be rewritten? What should be rethought? Striking the narrative thread, the show takes shape in a visual universe in constant collapse, paying tribute to the performative gestures of Bill Viola and Gina Pane.
