Lucy

Single channel video 2003 Installation on view at Locus Loppem Kunsthalle Lophem 2005 Lucy was found in Ethiopia Shes considered to be the eldest human being ever discovered She was born about 35 million years ago She was small and lightly built probably not much more than 1m tall In a pink bed lies a naked young girl with a pink felt doll The girl is about ten eleven years old The doll has the same size and physiognomy as the girl It may be her alter ego or it may be the girl that soon will be a woman or maybe its just the last doll a mother sewed for her daughter These two fragile images show the search for identity in a kind of reflection The contact between the girl and the doll slowly disappears the child soon becomes a woman
