Fragments of Marilyn Monroe’s gestures are wrested from the narratives of Hollywood cinema and transformed through the use of an optical printer. “In Marilyn Monroe’s fascinating beauty, linked to death and to the drives, I find the ghost of tragic Antigone. The ‘brides of death’ Marilyn and Antigone acquiesce in malediction and annihilation. Is this the jouissance of destruction, transgression, defiance or fearless self-knowledge?” (Jean Matthee)

Antigone’s Cut is a double screen 16mm projection.
