SEARCHING EVA
„I dedicate my life to showing the world that one can pretend to be whoever they want.“ (Eva)
Eva, 25, drifter, Berliner, pet-owner, poet, lesbian, sex worker, virgo, housewife, addict, feminist, model, declared privacy an outdated concept at the age of 14.
This is the tale of a young woman growing up in the age of the internet, turning the search for oneself into a public spectacle, challenging you on what a woman
„should be“. Through her fragmented personalities you see the emergence of a generation, in which the concept of a fixed identity has grown old.
A portrait of modern existence.
