Inspired by Georges Bataille’s Histoire de l’œil (1928), this work centres on the character Marcelle, who hides in a wardrobe to masturbate during an orgy. In an act of apparent shame, she retreats to a space where social and sexual norms, as well as architectural rules, no longer apply; here, what is written as shame can be read as power.
A wardrobe is reassembled in reverse. We find ourselves standing inside the closet, where water portrays its pleasure and discomfort. Light and sound restrict the outside world to a narrow view, only visible through decorated glass.
