Seule / Alone
Experimental, (7’)
Bruxelles, Le Pacifique, 2010.
Alone in an empty house, a young women questions female loneliness by duplicating herself to play various undefined characters, caught between creative freedom and limited expectations of traditional gendered adulthood in a master-servant model.
The objects used in the video were present in the house at the time of filming (cards, guitar, children's games). The house filmed is that of a shared flat for young graphic designers from the Le Pacifique collective (now a label and radio station). During this three-day mini-residency, MH set herself the task of improvising as much as possible with what was on the spot.
The video was shown in 2012/2013 at the Casablanca Video Art Biennial and the Centrale Electrique (Brussels) as part of the art competition.
