Overview

The instability of memory comes to the fore when artist Lindsay Seers' step-sister Christine, while filming in Rome, is involved in a moped accident, which severely damages her memory. Through a delusional encounter with found photographs, Christine began to confuse her identity with that of the 17th- century Queen Christina of Sweden, immortalised in Greta Garbo's 1933 film Queen Christina.
