Afterimage
Low stock: 1 left
Afterimage is an intense exploration of the search for identity and meaning, capturing the tension between the intellectual yearnings and the repressed sexuality of the Victorian age.
Annie arrives at a wealthy country house to work as a maid. Used to the grinding labour of servitude, she is startled to find herself drawn into a world where dreams and desires are possible. Isabelle, Annie's mistress, desperately wants to become a great photographer but is thwarted by her sex and society's expectations. Using her servants as models, she creates a series of portraits of women that echo the Romantic tradition- Ophelia, Guinevere, Sappho, and the Virgin Mary. Physically distanced from her husband Eldon, Isabelle finds herself drawn into forbidden territory with Annie.
