Etant Donnees

Inspired by Marcel Duchamps’s mysterious Etant Donnés, we designed and fabricated a beautiful door with a peep hole. Looking through the hole, viewers saw a video image of two naked full-figured women. We were laying in the grass by a flowing river, with our legs wide open, holding a lantern with a lit candle. French author and filmmaker, Virginie Despuentes did the camera work. We made a second version of the piece installed at Femina Potens gallery.
