Un Cri Dans le Silence takes its name from the monograph of infamous French movie star, Brigitte Bardot. Kovylina’s two-part project recreates Bardot’s sensual and provocative film posters but using text expressing her extreme opinions as taken from her book Un Cri Dans le Silence. The second component of the project is a performance in which she re-enacts the scene from Bardot’s seminal film And God Created Woman in which Bardot’s heroine parts with her pets as she waits for the bus that will take her away from her village forever.
