From the film-maker:
In this film I have taken the colour palette yellow from the painting to create the bathroom scene. In the painting you cannot see the woman's face, so I tried to film what the woman may have been thinking about as she dried herself. I have taken the same gesture the woman holds in the painting, but I have filmed her from the opposite angle.
Lin Ming Ying
A piece inspired by Hilaire-Germain-Edgar Degas, After the Bath, Woman drying herself, about 1890-5
