The Things of a Lifetime, Intimate Archeological Exercises
Synopsis
A house. The one my grandmother lived in since 1971. Everything remained intact after her death. What to do with this legacy? Today, the objects she accumulated are a call to better understand the woman she was. Can the material traces that I observe, count, classif, and arrange in the context of still lifes fill in her silences and whisper things about her life? Between her and these things, are there not the aspirations of a woman driven by the unspoken desire to be recognized as a white Frenchwoman?

Changing Rooms, by Violette Gitton
César is 12 when his older sister Lou is sexually assaulted. In the changing rooms of the fencing classes he attends, everything is measured by the yardstick of violence. César would like to take part in every fight, but he doesn’t have the weapons.
