In Sophie Cundale’s narratives, story and reality, cinematic and performative are closely interwoven. Her film After Picasso, God accompanies the hypnosis session of a woman (played by Cundale), in which an unwanted addiction is treated. In an intensive process with a friend of hers who is a hypnotist as well as an actor, objects, people and images are transformed, pain is brought to the surface and subjected to a transformation. The title of the film refers to the artist Dora Maar, who turned to religion after breaking her relationship with Picasso: ‘After Picasso, Only God.’ – ‘For me this quote describes what it is to love with complete abandon. When you lose someone who became everything to you. What is created in their absence? That’s the film.’¹
