"Feel your interior movements"

1/46 - Box extracted from "Ariane thread, story of a betrayal".By Nadja.Acts South BD

"A very tight framing makes us immediately enter the body, feel its movements from the inside.She is a woman who is advancing, decided, passing from light to the shade, then in light.The corridor she crosses prefigures the course she will make in the labyrinth of her unconscious.Long hair that sweeps her shoulders, her first gesture will be to cut them, as we let go.The material of gouache, used in an almost expressionist way, underlines the carnal side of the story, where it will be a question of being like heroine, trained in her quest, in search of her ancient double, to understand hisown mistakes."By Nadja
