Albane Durand-Viel – Magdalena
Magdalena focuses on a forgotten or unknown female figure, Mary Magdalene. She was Jesus’ favorite, first witness and mysterious apostle. Her story has been written and told by men, who attributed to her several identities : as a saint, a socialite, a prostitute, a lover and a mystic woman. A thousand faces are often attributed to her, preferring to reduce her to erroneous female stereotypes. Yet Mary Magdalene was a key figure in History and a powerful symbol of feminine independence. This project aims to restore her story, by choosing our contemporary era as context. Imagining a scenario in which Mary Magdalene occupies a central place in today's media space, what would her fate and power be?
