A seated female figure is continuously folding a white shirt on her lap. While the surrounding space in which this endlessly repeated action takes place and the position of the woman doesn’t change, the colors in the interior and the clothes of the woman are constantly different. The patterned pieces of textile date from different periods of history and are from all over of the world. The colors go from light, spring-like colors through more intense yellows and reds and more subdued colors to nuances of silver, grays and blacks.
During the film there is an ‘interior monologue’ in which the voice of a woman reads a letter to her dead son. On the back of the video still the complete text of the monologue is written.
The theme of this work is related to the series Pieta in which also a mother figure deals with the emotion of loss and possibly hope.
