Wandering Womb
Experimental Canada 2015 No dialogue 0:04:00
Through experimental approaches and visual distortions, Wandering Womb confronts the historical and contemporary consequences surrounding the antiquated notion of “female hysteria”. By using found-footage from contemporary films, this also serves to create a commentary on the continuous use of “hysterical” women in Hollywood filmmaking.
Grâce à des approches expérimentales et des distorsions visuellles, Wandering Womb explore les conséquences historiques et contemporaines entourant la notion archaïque d’«Hystérie féminine». En utilisant des extraits de films trouvés contemporains, l’œuvre formule un commentaire sur la représentation des femmes «hystériques» dans le cinéma hollywoodien.
