Initially commissioned for an exhibition celebrating 200 years of the French Revolution and installed in a small church in Le Havre, Hommage à Marquis de Sade (1989) was made as a tribute to feminist interpretations of the French nobleman and writer the Marquis de Sade (1740–1814), who was renowned for depicting sexual fantasies with an emphasis on violence. One of the most complex and intimate works of Yalter, the multi-screen installation reads like a manifesto of the artist’s style during this decade. Centred on confinement and the human body, Hommage a Marquis de Sade reflects on Yalter’s personal experience and years of working as a woman artist.
