“To be alive is to feel lost. All the rest is a pose or lies we tell to ourselves” (Olivier de Sagazan)
An exposed and hungry woman in a black dress and high heels opens a table, gets lost in fantasy, and yet she looks beyond. “Etiquette” is a physical performance of a woman and a dining table, where the aesthetic, physical, emotional, and personal boundaries are widened and stretched. The domestic space is revealed – between the polite and the wild, between the uncontrolled and the planned, and between the toxic and the healthy.
