Installation, 2018
This installation draws inspiration from the 1965 French film “Le Bonheur,” which raises questions about the interplay between individual roles and social functions within family dynamics. Utilizing objects from the film, the installation serves as a reflection of Agnes Varda’s perspective—the film’s director—who stated, “Each of us is unique but replaceable. If a woman fulfills her functions as a wife, mother, cook, and gardener, the family does well. Every woman may discover her identity, her talent, and her place, but she is replaceable insofar as she fulfills her social function.”
The installation employs subtly induced movements that generate delicate sounds, gradually slowing down as the battery charge diminishes, marking the passage of time. This artistic creation forms an aural ecosystem characterized by systemic fragility, temporarily restored by new charges in a consuming, conceptual loop.
