维纳斯残影 Fragments for Venus

“I conceive this short film Fragments for Venus as a self-portrait constructed as a collage of images, texts, scenes, and situations that draw as much from documentary as from fiction. It will be mixed with a very subjective set of references with which I have built myself. Paintings, sculptures, films, and book excerpts will be cited: those that may have broken me, sometimes hurt me, and all those that I have found to heal myself and overcome the pain inflicted by this form. In particular, the paintings, photographs, and sculptures I choose represent Black women freed from enslaving representation, in works by Black or white artists, mainly from the 20th and 21st centuries.” (Alice Diop)
