I Write While Disappearing is a film based on found television interviews which serve for the artist to create a fictional discussion between herself and 14 female writers. French feminists find themselves in conversation with a Brazilian mystic, an Austrian dramatist, a SovietLithuanian romantic, and a number of others, in an intimate sharing of what it means to be a woman and an artist. Meanwhile, the author’s own voice pierces through: ‘If I steal does it mean that I write?’
The film was created in collaboration with editor Rui Calvo and composer Adomas Palekas. It is installed on the furniture created especially for its viewing: a writer’s desk and a chair tongue.
