Generation 2000 against total chaos (part 47)

- Posição 2004: your notes. Next?
- Clarisse Tarran: Me Desculpe, which means Forgive Me. That was a video installation inside a locked safe. The safe is as big as a small room, and you could see the video directly on the wall, through a locked barred door. The safe is located on the basement of the mansion, which added to the bleak atmosphere of it. On the video you saw a blindfolded woman, almost completely naked, moving inside the safe, where it was filmed. It looks like she is being tortured by sensorial deprivation, and I understand Clarisse herself played the woman, as an homage to her father, who was tortured and killed by a paramilitary group during the Military Rule in Brazil. I think she did a great job in conveying the horror and desperation of it all, without the use of graphic violence. Really good show!
