Compromise
is a collection of conversations the artist has with herself. She talks directly to the camera while replicas of herself can be seen doing things in the background, such as rolling in a dance-like manner on a bed, singing a song or taking part in sexual activities. This film analyses representation and how we share our lives with others.
