This collection focuses on photographic and painted representations of Ophelia’s death in Shakespeare’s «Hamlet». The calm atmosphere of the floating body evokes a sense of calm, despite the gloom of the body lying in the water. The stagnant, muddy water clings to and envelops everything around it: this woman, as well as the flora settling romantically on the pulpit and the floating clothes.
The transparency creates an intimacy, but also a heaviness as the water clings to the clothes. The fabrics are damaged, wrinkled around the body, disgorged, soaked in water and printed with flowers.
