Whispered Truths from the Plastic Realm tells the story of a cat-and-mouse game between a woman and the omnipresent plastic.

Flavia Raddavero wanted to celebrate the beauty and combativeness of women with a model who has appropriated her body and is shown as a plastic princess. The use of plastic is denounced by a disturbing emphasis on its harmfulness.

Deceptively playful and gentle, the series explores the tension between feminism and ecology.

Is this woman free or a victim of society's beauty standards? Is plastic a help or a straitjacket? The ballet he dances with the series' heroine underlines his hegemony, but also his manipulative nature, echoing patriarchy. The tête-à-tête is not without hope, however; the play ends with an open ending.

To stage this tension, Flavia Raddavero called on make-up artist Mariame , recycled creations by Yperlab and used the recycled creations of engineer and design doctor Émile De Visscher, whose work includes the Polyfloss plastic recycling machine.
