Description:
...an immense pressure was on me. I could not move with out dislodging
the weight of the centuries ...
A girl pays homage to the damned (girls). She links these to herself &
to myths having survived in sagas & fairy tales. She undertakes a
journey into the land of the dead in order to become free. She loves the
land of the dead. It has as a kind of opiate oblivion beauty, but she
resists death. She refuses death on behalf of all the dead girls and also
rages at the emptiness of life. Surviving in life despite its inadequacies
and infuriating restrictions. She has returned with a powerful force,
back into the land of the living. Survives as a fugitive, eluding the
authorities that would attempt to transform her into death again.
Levitating upon reefs of contradiction, the revolting female body explores
different states, selves, times & spaces. Ancient & tragic narratives
are transformed, people are turned into glitches, as the she spins through
landscapes, dances through compost heaps, and speaks into portholes of
time
