This artefact is a film installation, projected across two screens, and structured across four sequences. Each sequence explores a different representational context, that traces media representation of hysteria to representation of women in contemporary politics. One screen presents composed and staged scenes, while the second engages with how those images are framed and constructed, and what meaning is created as a result. The relationship between the screens encourages attention to the conditions wherein images become meaningful to audiences.
Archival photographs and performances are integrated in partial and altered forms within the installation. They are embedded within constructed and surreal spatial design, that can shift and negotiate their significance. This approach illuminates how meaning can be shaped by evolving visual context. This suggests that the environment that images are encountered in can reflect a warped perception of reality.
Viewers are able to move between two audio tracks, that shift the emphasis and shapes how the work is experienced. The audio will often subvert what is presented visually, further reinforcing the distortion between what is presented and what is signified. This interactivity positions the viewer as the interpreter and the audience becomes an active participant in its meaning making.
