German premiere

English

a woman washes her hair in the kitchen sink while telling her friend about a memory of sitting in a bathtub and watching her aunt prepare to go out.

a narrative fragment,
a very short story,
a performance and exercise in the prosaic
as mythologised through memory.
concision and the infinite that is always entwined
with remembering and forgetting.

the pressing of pubic hair against nylon
the pressing of fingers on fruit
the pressing of an image of
womanhood
sexuality
pleasure
on the young psyche of the character in the film.

the pressing of light on photosensitive chemicals.
minerals i’ve exposed.

“light struck” is a phrase i like to think about.
the bearable violence.
