White Sugar

59th TIFF: Greek Premiere

The woman winks, the woman buys, the woman sells, the woman dies. A creative assemblage of archival material, where female figurine are literally cut out of their context as paper dolls, and are forced to inhabit a digital space. A whimsical representation of the Western cultural model as “white sugar,” an artificial and addictive chemical pleasure, altering taste and perception.
