Otello 1887, 2015 

The work takes as point of departure Giuseppe Verdi’s opera Otello which in turn takes its plot from William Shakespeare’s 1603/4 tragedy by the same name. The film can be seen in reference to the artist's larger project M.2062, which is, in her words, a prospective and fragmented opera that incorporates “not only literature, movies and music but also quotations, adaptations, juxtapositions, games, and identities."
