As her life flashes before her eyes, we see the dark journey that led her to this moment – from exploitation and degradation to a desperate bid for control over her own mortality.

For those who live on the margins of society, there exists, in migration, a kind of “non-state”; one where movement becomes an act of emancipation and transgression. There we found a beginning. Nomadic. In our naiveté, there was a place of real autonomy. As the forces of territorial fixation grew in this place, the hierarchy holding it together became more rigid, entangled. Then, after a while, something else changed, something imperceptible, something in the blood; the garrotte was inside minds

A phase-shifted dream, sequenced from revolutionary surrealism's mitochondrial DNA. Fragments from the psyches of the women surrealists who sought to unleash themselves from the "male-shaped symbolic order," and through fascism, war, and exile, found their own voices and community. The figure of an anthropomorphic poodle dog, referencing its appearance in the works of Dorothea Tanning and Leonor Fini, acts as both an observer and latent spectre of liberation. (c) Aeon Rose
