FILM

This video was a first collaboration between sisters Lisa and Clara Spilliaert and functions as a double transition. On the one hand a cultural reorientation from Japan to Belgium and on the other hand a transition from child to adolescent, with reference to the emergence of sexual awareness. The emotional intensity of leaving a certain place or state is transcended by ritual gestures of singing, cutting and burning. In 2023, we celebrate the 10th anniversary of this work as a crucial point in the artistic path of both sisters.
