Romanian Premiere
Into All That Is Here explores the notion of lust after times of darkness. Within her film, the artist continues the exploration of themes addressed in Wantee, a story linked to her grandfather. This time, Prouvost focuses on digging into the subconscious of this character, deep into his fantasies, like an insect or bird is attracted to the pollen and once the flower is reached it gets indulged with pleasure. The video depicts a warm and slimy atmosphere and a sensation of relief after a long search for darkness, giving the impression to the visitor that they have just penetrated a viscid, sweaty flower, till the images burn and disappear.

Curatorial comment:
The audio emanating from the surreal and intimate video lures the viewer into its space. The seductive sonic richness is a semblance of erotic moans, eerie whistling, slurping and puckering mouths: the imagery is equally as sensual. Subterranean tunnelling that frames the narrative, along with fraught attempts to navigate through the unknown land using Google Maps. (…) The film dramatically departs from the underground bewilderment, emerging finally into a lush, colour-saturated meadow. Flowers press together like two mouths, anonymous hands massage prosthetic limbs and sexual fantasy is conveyed through both rhythmic and abrupt jump cuts, spurting fountains, leaking tree sap and subtitles that read it will be pure lust.
