White and Black Grafts (2022)
A mix of 8mm and 16mm home movies, mostly depicting Western women focused on their home lives or leisure time, collected obsessively on eBay auctions, is remedied through various artisanal and eco-friendly techniques. The film follows a woman's chronological evolution from childhood to death and the iconic traditional milestones she hopes to reach in Western Catholic culture: communion, confirmation, marriage, motherhood, housewife, perhaps learning to crochet, and so on. In a strange reversal, none of these moments were experienced by the filmmaker. Ultimately, the disturbance of these images becomes a poetic intervention in which the director's personal experience is intertwined with the cultural heritage of popular iconic images of women in home movies and a reflection on the objects found, and ebay as an unlikely source for counter-file.
