Sisters, Saints and Sibyls

Sisters, Saints and Sibyls is a documentary that features a multimedia installation format. It focuses on the experiences of women who find themselves trapped in both psychological and mythical narratives.

The film is centered around the personal story of artist Goldin, specifically her sister Barbara’s institutionalization and subsequent suicide. It interweaves this personal history with the mythological context of Saint Barbara, creating a layered narrative that reflects on both past and contemporary issues surrounding mental health and societal expectations placed on women.
