The Wars background

The Wars

A thought-provoking film that delves into the intricate relationships between status, material possessions, and one's sense of identity.

Oscar van Alphen's photography project combines an adapted version of Georges Bataille's text Madame Edwarda with images from his archive. The story, published in 1941, is about lust, power, anxiety, desire, and humiliation, and explores the themes of uncontrollable political and economic power and its effects on human dignity.
