Needs DSL/Cable; IE 5.0+ or Safari; Quicktime 6; and popups activated.

"Tenderly Yours" resituates the personal, casual and ambiguous approach
of French new wave cinema in a net art narrative that explores love,
loss and memory. The story is recited by a striking and illustrious
persona as she moves through the city with her lover. Her willful
independence is intoxicating, though her sense of self is ambiguous and
her fear of intimacy consuming. One day she suddenly disappears. Her
lover is left bewildered and is forced to question whether she is a
fiction that fades with every passing recollection. At this moment, her
face reappears only to be united with that of a movie actress, whose
striking resemblance further questions the certainty of her existence.

"Here we encounter a series of filmic 'doubles', of French new wave
cinema rendered as net art and in turn, of net art as cinema.
Furthermore, there is a doubling of realization, of love at once found
but then gone, and of the real and imagined states of loss." - Celina
Jeffery
