I Am the Woman

Bewusst Sein Im Fokus, Vienna

In my own words

No single definition of womanhood survived this project, thank goodness. It became a collective mosaic — many women, many contradictions, no conclusion offered.

It was my first properly Viennese project, made with the community that took me in here. In hindsight it was also a quiet rehearsal for everything that came after: Femme Fatale, and eventually EUFÓRIA. You do not always know at the time which piece is the doorway.
