When a bourgeois couple acquires a doll, their daily life is turned upside down. The relationship to love, fantasies, projections, as well as the creation of a new family unit: they are three now. Child, sex toy, ghost, android and window manikin: this Love Doll becomes in turn a lover, an object of jealousy or of veneration. Every day, Michelle is there. This piece is not about writing a story, but recounting states. Through the theme of our relationship to objects, Marika Dreistadt and Raphael Defour interrogate the evolution of our society.
