“My Heart Laid Bare”
The film is a combination of 35mm film, flash animation, and 3D animation. It was premiered at Venice Film Festival in September 2008, and was displayed at Yi Zhou’s solo exhibition in Hong Kong at the Ooi Botos Gallery. In this work, Yi Zhou seeks to once again tackle some of the themes already present in her previous works. Her new video takes place in the Roman suburbs between the Port of Fiumicino and Ostia: the story is about the end of love. A surreal vision begins with a giant human heart, upon which a naked girl (interpreted by Charlotte Gainsbourg) straddles half-asleep.
