Tale of the Umpteenth Night
4m
This video self-portrait draws inspiration from the storytelling tradition of A Thousand and One Nights, in which extraordinary characters become commonplace, and Georges Pérec’s infamous book Je me souviens (I Remember), which collected the remembrances of an entire generation in France. The artist’s voice emerges to claim its autonomy amid a social realm in which the collective supersedes the individual.
