Les mains, négatives
Ana Vaz, 2012, BR, FR, HD, 15'

Les mains, négatives, in reference to Les mains négatives by Marguerite Duras, is entirely made from one single image printed on a postcard found at the flea market of St. Ouen in Paris. It depicts a catholic missionary teaching young Malagasy kids to pray with rosary beads — “the image emanates all the violence of this gesture, rendered all the more violent in its form as a postcard.”
