Get lost (Victoria)

Based on the essay Premiers Matériaux pour une Théorie de la Jeune Fille by French collective Tiqqun, it explores the contemporary characteristics of liberal love and its alienated compulsion to repetition. A slide show of photographs from the pages of fashion magazines represents multiple partners and relationships, while two actors endlessly declaim the sentence ‘I did love you once’ from Hamlet emphasising the sensory experience of language. Mixing sound, text, movement and image, Claire Fontaine uses these elements to make a complex statement on the power relations in a capitalist society.
