Simone de Beauvoir told me, 2016 by Monika K. Adler - film Still image. Monika K. Adler pictured in a round mirror combing her hair.

Simone de Beauvoir told us that for woman there is no other way out than to work for her liberation. In her video-art work “Simone de Beauvoir told me…” artist and filmmaker Monika K. Adler employs the art historical tradition of the ‘portrait-miniature’ to communicate and re-contextualise de Beauvoir’s iconic words through a cyclical mirror performance with an unexpected conclusion.
