Parody film, Like a Dream traces Marianna Rothen’s 17-year career in the fashion world. After becoming a photographer, she directed this autobiographical feature film that reveals the behind-the-scenes of fashion industry. The film tells the story of a teenage girl, ‘Young Girl’, who leaves home to become an international model. Through quirky and caricatured performances, the character played by Rothen deals with abuse of power and depression. The artist wanders between several plastic mannequins, which she animates like puppets. The installation plunges us into her past through photographs taken throughout her professional travels and personal belongings. Demystifying the glamour of the catwalk, the project serves as an intimate diary and an authentic testimony of a real-life experience between dream and reality.
