"Inside our own private goggle box" by Marie Serre and Melissa Ben Allal, one of the works at the Bwhat?! festival

Visitors ogling at M&M's goggle box...

We are two slightly dotty girls who are totally nuts about fashion and addicted to fashion magazines! We also share an interest in film and our dream is to travel the world together.

Three years ago, we went to England. During our trip, we visited a museum in London. We saw a box in which a film was screened. This box inspired us for our Bwhat?! project.

We have made a home movie (more of a slide show in fact) and stuck it in a home-made TV set. This TV “box” symbolizes, in a way, friendship (but not our own!) with its constraints, illusions and delusions. It is a means for you to peek inside our world...

In this film, fashion is the obsession of the two characters (played by ourselves). The soundtrack is pinched from the French film “Tout ce qui brille”. It is about freedom and summarises the girls’ philosophy. They also have a guilty pleasure: overdosing on macaroons. Any similarity with persons living or dead is purely coincidental...

We had a lot of fun making the “movie” and we hope you will enjoy watching it!
