Black Beauty: the first image seems to give a literal meaning to the title, with a beautiful black woman black woman lying naked. Then seen shooting a vaguely eighties beauty cream ad, and repeating its pseudo-ecological slogan to the point of saturation and derangement. Suddenly, here she is again, hosting Jorge Luis Borges on a TV set to discuss the publication of his latest novel and the burning issues of our time. Parody of an author and of television styles? Certainly; but also a convocation of the games of mirrors associated with him to question what they can tell us about our contemporary themes. (Nathan Letoré).
