Possibly in Michigan
Cecilia Condit
Two young women are pursued in a shopping mall by a cannibal. In a surreal suburban setting, victims become aggressors, the familiar becomes the fantastic. Possibly in Michigan intermixes horror and humour, sexuality and violence. Cecilia Condit’s feminist fairytales give a subversive twist to traditional Freudian metaphors and female representations.
