When a home turns into a jail, some think of evasion, imposing a dramatic disappearance. Before taking the freedom of which they were so deprived, to return and roam the premises to inflict on their husband beyond fear, a daunting nostalgia for time passed and provoke pain and regrets, and to play a little too.
In this series of self-portraits France Dubois let herself be possessed by the haunting of those departed from a traditional Japanese home, and placed here and there their lifeless or floating silhouettes as many conversations and funeral games where each apparition is the beginning of a domestic fiction.
