The Better Me

Using the codes of TV, halfway between an commercial, a talk show and a therapy session, the artist humorously reflects upon the transformation and appreciation of self. A ghostly presence progressively seeps in. ‘It is possible to invent someone who will be with us all our lives (…) She stands over there watching me. Watching me with those eyes. One look back into her eyes watching me makes me question everything I do and say. (…) She invented herself as separate from me because she knew our integrity was in danger here. And now, our separation is our integrity. She has the body of a particular adolescent girl: my body… then.’
