And then she said, “You have a future, but it looks a lot like your past” is a collaborative project by Helen Anna Flanagan and Marijke De Roover. The film that the two artists made revolves around Female Writing. This theory analyses the relationships between, on the one hand, the cultural and psychological inscriptions of the female body and, on the other hand, the specificities of women's language and texts. It acts as a way to decenter conventional modes of writing, claim space, and bring out feminist voices in “an ecstatic torrent of words.” The text by Hélène Cixous has become “a flagship text of their artistic practice”: The artists who answered the call of the Muse/Medusa play on the multiple supports of aesthetic creation; they create new articulations between verbal language and the language of the image, between artistic work and the female body.
