Ophelia
Through a monologue recited in reverse, the video deals with discriminatory depictions of women in the past and present. In a river scene, resembling J. E. Millais’ famous painting of Shakespeare’s dying character Ophelia, the video’s artist appears, speaking constantly into the camera. On different levels, the video moves forward and backward in time. Intelligible words and the usual flow of time do not occur simultaneously, suggesting the entanglement of language, image and social roles.
