Graduation Project
This film documented a intergenerational truma of my friend “Z”. Her father’s erratic behaviour due to alcoholism exposes women of her family to
domestic violence, But mother and grandmother connived. Three generations of women struggling with their destinies, forming closed loops. I
concentrated them on the girl alone. Smoking three times and introduce fishes three times.
Avoidant attachment is presented when Z is the object. This is what psychologist John Bowlby concluded in Attachment Theory for situations where the carer’s response is inconsistent or unpredictable.
When she, as a subject, she followed her father’s example and showed an extreme form of love and eventually left me when conflicts occour. This is Freud’s illustration of transference and projection:“A child will gain experiences from her family of origin and past experiences will be projected as she deals with her own intimate relationships.
Erik Erikson’s social learning theory points to similar results, suggesting that individuals learn behaviours through observation, imitation and reinforcement received from the environment. In domestic violence situations, children may learn violent behaviour as a way of resolving conflict. This pattern of behaviour may be seen as a justification or appropriate response that carries over into their adult lives.
I wanted to reveal this generational damage of a reincarnational nature, a cycle that many people, myself included, may be in without realising it. So at the end of the film.
According to Lacan, the “mirror stage” is the archetypal stage in the formation of ego, baby see himself in a mirror and develop an ambiguous perception of the self. And this process requires the use of others.
