About The Work
These photographs are from Irma Vep, the last breath , Michelle Handelman’s multichannel video project based on Musidora, the French silent film actress, and the character she is best known for, Irma Vep from the film Les Vampires (dir. Louis Feuillade 1915). It’s a piece about living in the shadows, about criminal anxiety and the relationship between the artist and her creation, both fictional and real. Irma Vep and Musidora are played by Zackary Drucker and Flawless Sabrina, two artists whose identities transgress the border of art and life. Together they have developed a relationship that documents a cultural evolution of gender.
