THE BLACK COAT
( NINE FEMMES FATALES IN THEIR WORDS)

A rectangle of black plastic skins, composed of 9 jackets and hoods. The lower part of the body is free. The faces are hidden by masks which bear the name of the woman they represent.

The Black Coat of Transformation, the Coat of the Nine Femmes Fatales.

They are only fatales to themselves, to their own destiny, and all died violently, for their passion, before they were 40 years old (except for Mona Lisa who becomes the artist, the voyeur).
Because of the ritual of the coat, these nine women will come back to life, and each of them will speak their own words.

Many women can identify with them: Madame Bovary, Frida Kahlo, Marilyn Monroe, Mona Lisa, Billie Holiday, Cleopatra, Eva Hesse, Joan of Arc, and Ulrike Meinhof.
