No title is a video installation (45 minutes) dealing with the difficult action of “letting go”.  Embroidered on fishnet stocking, a feminine and sensual material, the action of letting go appears only as the work is executed.  With simple gestures coming from the feminine tradition of embroidery, I compare this painstaking labour with the exercise of wanting, of being able to and of knowing how to let go; an intention that the static and continuous shot of the image means to reinforce.
