This series is born from the video recording of small girls inventing their own stories of princesses. These 6 to 7 year old girls belong to a school in Neder-Over-Heembeek, on the north of Brussels. They are children of cultural backgrounds and of varied origins. The artist is interested in what the archetype of the princess means to them - what is her image, what kind of actions she leads and what are her goals. But also how the imagination of these children is articulated in an spoken narrative. In the main video of the series, the stories of princesses imagined by these little girls are transcribed by online software; all faults are integrated, thus creating yet another story. Out of a collage workshop with the children, the artist also produced a new series of photo-collage.
