One day Agnes arrives in the city and settles into the upstairs studio.<br><br>In their meetings on the stairs in the studio at the corner caf&#233; the kitchen at dawn Agnes tells stories of her youth her family her marriage and ideas for her art - which is always just about to be created. As the months pass it becomes clear that Agnes might not have a place to return to. The student is increasingly aware of Agnes's disintegration. Her stories are frenetic; her art scattered and unfinished white paint on a white canvas. <br><br>What emerges is the menacing sense that every life is always at the edge of disaster no matter its seeming stability. <br><br><b><i>White on White</i> is a sharp exploration of empathy and cruelty and the stunning discovery of what it means to be truly vulnerable and laid bare.</b><br><br>'Gentle mysterious and profound.' <b>Marina Abramovic</b></p>
