For a Helen

How many women live in your body?

The space, organized from its basic elements: lines, geometric forms light and colour. Images of a multi – layered female figure and its relation to desirability and sexuality.

The light paints a theatrical cavity in the darkness, forms inadvertently revealing the classical stereotypes of the female figure.

Using Federico Fellini’s “City of Women”, what is ultimately presented to the viewer is the production of the female form, fluid and shape-shifting. Numbers of different women co-exist in harmony or antagonism; women from the past, the present and future.

The light remodels the body of the performer. The shadows that are cast become a presence that accompanies her. The structure is void of time and the female figure is a phantom.

It is a personal exploration to come to terms with the problem of the ‘self’ and the ‘other’, of how a woman seeks to define what she is and equally important what she is not.
