Post Partum
A woman leans out of a train's window. A building collapses. A drop evaporates on a heated element. A man and woman are absorbed in the darkness of a corridor. A field of yellow flowers swallows a woman in a yellow sweater as she walks into the distance. Debeaumarché explores post partum depression poetically, image after image."post partum is the general name given to the physical residue of birth itself, but also to the new mother's consequent depression. Melancholy following euphoria. The movement from the fantasized anticipated act of birth to the inescapable reality of existence. To give birth is to abandon dreams and anchor oneself in the real. ... More generally, post partum entails a shift from desire to fear for the future. Absence and loss."
