Boudoir: small living room, elegantly decorated cabinet, for the special use of the ladies, and in which they retire when they want to be alone or talk with intimate people. In the darkness of a boudoir are a thousand and one stories that we will not know.
Closed door, narrow frame, unclean lights and contours. Solitary place, between two doors, neither inside nor outside, but at the confines of oneself. Place of intimacy, body and objects at hand. Place of desire and conspiracy. Masculine imagination, heightened femininity.
Women caricatured, daguerreotyped, invisibilized, chased. They refrain from capsizing. Unclear images, hidden treasures, some veiled. In the latency of the boudoir the works wait to be visited. From a little love and commerce comes this tired beauty.
