Venus... I see blue

Crosscurrents video programme

“A video narrative that transforms female archetypes into a game girl-like persona frolicking on and around the surface of Venus. The work “explores the convergencies, parallels and crossovers between the constructs of sexuality, practices of the body and outer space.” Venus thus becomes the free zone background (recuperated through animation from NASA), across which the artists liberatory desires are imagined” Sylvie Fortin
