Lose Yourself With Me

2022 

Experimental film, 7'20"

Trailer

Lose yourself with me is an invitation to wander through the blurred contours of an inextricable world of quest and fulfillment, of lack and fulfillment, of waiting and rapture, of burning desire and appeasement... of desire and pleasure between women. 

 

Here there are no faces, no bodies, no incarnations, no possible identification.

To immerse the audience as closely as possible in the mystery of lesbian sexuality, I make cinema by arranging my photographs and intertwining them with organic and orgasmic sounds.  The superimposed editing and an underground, suggestive soundscape hint at a sultry atmosphere, a sensual and poisonous alchemy, a labyrinth of troubled and secret pleasures.

 

Lose yourself with me offers a sensory experience, plunging the viewer into a state of confusion in order to better enter the mysteries of female desire and pleasure. The film turns away from stereotypes, hypersexualization, and the invisibility of sexuality between women, which are sources of fantastical questions and hackneyed clichés, most often conveyed by male imaginations.

 

It is a woman's film, imbued with an unapologetic “female gaze,” which asserts a full, vibrant sexuality that flows freely between women and is experienced without men. In this sense, Lose yourself with me is a political film — a gesture of reclaiming the gaze, desire, and the power to act and feel.
