In this video the artist Marcy Petit embodies two different personas: her own mother before her death in 1992 and herself.
Despite growing up without a mother, the artist always felt that deep secrets were darkening her memory. After having investigated her life and finding out the disturbing truth, Marcy Petit finally had the chance to ask her mother the questions she had prepared.
Throughout this fake interview, the conversation leads the viewer to different topics:
The exploration of family trauma and secrets, but also prostitution, and the representation of women’s sexuality within the French society of the 70-80's.
Finally, and despite it still being one of the biggest taboos of our society, the artist’s mother becomes a voice advocating for sexual freedom, women's empowerment, but also for the rights of sex workers.
