I am Eve, the wife of noble Adam; it was I who
violated Jesus in the past; it was I who robbed my
children of heaven; it is I by right who should have
been crucified.
I had heaven at my command; evil the bad choice
that shamed me; evil the punishment for my crime
that has aged me; alas, my hand is not pure.
It was I who plucked the apple; it went past the
narrow of my gullet; as long as they live in daylight
women will not cease from folly on account of that.
There would be no ice in any place; there would be
no bright windy winter; there would be no hell,
there would be no grief, there would be no terror
but for me.
-Anonymous, Old Irish

In this piece, the myth of the genesis of the world and Eve’s guilt in the fall of
man are questioned in their power as foundations of a misogynistic culture
and idiosyncrasy, and consequently, of the discrimination, hatred, and
violence that women have been subjected to—as well as the resulting
indifference, impunity, and victim-blaming that portray women as
responsible for the harm they endure.
Imagined places where the myth was born, (The garden of Eden) and
where its most extreme misogynistic expression—femicide— (an abandoned
field) take place, along with one of it’s destructive interpretations, take the
shape of a a three-channel video installation that uses the contemplative
subtlety of living photography, accompanied by a voice-off reading of an
ancient Irish lament, pointing back to the Western origins of the myth, its
representations, and its inevitable consequences in the Christian and
predominantly Western world.
