“I feel our id is some thing we all build each working day. It evolves, it alterations, it adapts. It is a construction influenced by our beliefs, our encounters, the globe that surrounds us, and our very own uniqueness… The first myth of Caeneus tells the tale of a woman that, soon after remaining sexually abused by Poseidon, she asks him to be turned into a guy, « so that she can never be vulnerable all over again.”

“This film begins with that event but the narrative evolves into an interior research about self-identity and the conjunction of masculinity and femininity in the same specific. It supports the principle of non-binary gender in a delicate way.

« Cenée » goes against the fact that even these days we are intended to establish a cage, a prison for our tips, for our self-expression to limit us, to make us imagine that everything is black or white, appropriate or erroneous, male or female. When we prevent contemplating in a binary way, only then, we will be ready to accept ourselves and all people else.

Greek mythology was my principal inspiration because it’s the culture we tend to search at when we’re looking for answers to aged humanity issues. I was stunned to see that historical greeks presently understood the idea of non-binary gender and in some way or another they built-in into their tradition and handed it on to the next generations. Now, additional than at any time, we really should understand from them to acknowledge everyone as they want to be”

I labored with fashion designers from Paris, jewelry crafters from the South of France and even antique dealers from La Ciotat.”
