THE POWDER FACTORY

The Powder Factory is an intimate show for 20 people held inside a temporary examination tent. Loosely based on the photographs by Dr. Charcot to record cases of hysteria in the mid 1800’s and narrated by the appropriated and re-edited voice of David Attenborough. The Powder Factory explores the relationship between woman, photography, and power.
