Trailer
Photographer and filmmaker Alice Kohl offers a glimpse inside the world of French artist Juliette Feck, who lives and works in Marseille. In both carefully constructed scenes and those filmed on the fly, the young artist compellingly evokes the highs and lows of her experience. Whether presenting an image to the camera or candidly sharing her thoughts, Juliette draws us into the thick of her reflections and emotions; at times she is vulnerable, feeling threatened by everything, and at others, she is high on the joy of creating and exhibiting her works. Between hope and disillusionment, struggles and dreams, she remains determined to follow her calling. An intimate portrait melding myth and reality, this work focuses on an emerging artist as she questions the nature of art and what it means to be an artist.
