Isoje Chou
Despair
As part of her project Despair, the Nigerian Isoje Chou produced in collaboration with two African immigrants from Brussels the film Elizabeth and Birgette (2009), inspired by Bessie Head's A Question of Power. Despair is the total absence of hope. But eventually from beneath the surface of hope, the bubbles of despair appear, the two moods are attached to each other. They are associated with anxiety, agitation and dissatisfaction, as reflected through the struggle of the individual with identity.
