L' Avenir ? De F.V.G. ?

In L' Avenir? De F.V.G.? we observe at a public laundry the intersection of two systems of visual signification. First, a woman (Corrine Gache) addresses the camera in sign language. Her sentences are repeated, the second time with a translation. We discover that she is waiting in the laundromat for her friend from Senegal (Aisha N’Dour), who will tell her fortune using cowrie shells. As Aisha reads the piles of shells on the folding table, we see that vom Gröller is herself using the language of silent cinema to organize a micro-drama of communication and hope within the drab spaces of the everyday.
