A video projection installation working with a girl's nostalgic gaze, drawing on the unsettling atmosphere of gothic novels and post-apocalyptic genres. The installation object draws on the aesthetics of domestic model making, dollhouses and portable altars. The glowing windows invite you to peer into the bowels of a lonely villa, where a feast with special rules for diners is most likely taking place for the last time. The video draws on a tradition of stories set around mansions, imprinting the memory of a place while the beings who inhabited it pass away, disappear. Both the installation and the concept of the audiovisual work look nostalgically back to the girlhood years, drawing on the attitudes and ideas of the world associated with this period. To a time when inhabiting mysterious spaces and ancient interiors seemed a certainty, dinner an endless game after which all one could do was relax and wait for the next days full of pleasurable pleasures.
