L’observatrice Détachée (The Detached Observer) is a visual journey created to challenge the senses of the titular observer (and us), forcing her to question her perceptions of the past, present and future as well as the enforcement of societal expectations, ideologies, and systematic imprisonment. A personal story of exploration, “The Detached Observer” will lead us to discover how the inner world can be manipulated and forever changed by the exterior conflicts, whilst questioning whether it is possible to rise above all broken entries.
