RITES DE PASSAGE
Lukas Barovič, Juno Paloma Smolnik
„On ne naît pas femme: on le devient“ (Simone de Beauvoir, 1949). Rites de Passage examines the moment of transition — becoming a woman* as a social, physical, and symbolic act. Framed as a ritual, it negotiates a state in which the privilege of invisibility comes to an end without offering safety: a condition suspended between veiling and exposure, becoming visible and being subjected to external determination.The spatial scenography, conceived as an objectified translation of these implications, is complemented by a video installation of Rites de Passage.
