Drawing together footage, photographs and texts from archival sources as well as the artist’s personal collection of materials, Yto Barrada’s new film is as much a poetic enigma as it is a portrait of identity. Ether Reveries (Suite for Thérèse Rivière no.2) takes as its starting point the work and life of Thérèse Rivière (1901–1970), a French anthropologist whose remarkable working life was cut short following her confinement in psychiatric institutions.
Ether Reveries (Suite for Thérèse Rivière no.2) was directed by Yto Barrada.
Ether Reveries (Suite for Thérèse Rivière no.2) runs for 7min, and was released in 2017.
