Mrs Smith stars Lana Turner who most notably played Cora Smith in The Postman Always Rings Twice in 1946. Her performance enhanced her reputation as one of Hollywood's glamorous femme fatales which is how Rivans endeavors to portray planet earth in this collage. Earth is the film noir playing on the silver screen and Mother Nature is acting the part of the Femme Fatale portrayed as beautiful and strong - yet fragile and vulnerable.
The pin up headdress of Mrs smith begins with the collar created by marine protozoa microorganisms (first animals) and as we slowly move our way up the headdress we witness the birth of flora, fauna and finally humans - some depicted by children happily playing in a tree house.
Mrs Smith is the love, the life and the beauty of our planet, the experience of consciousness and what it is to be human.
