<strong>The</strong> <strong>Female</strong> <strong>Playground</strong> (2011-13)<br />
- three series and two videos<br />
DRIFTING SWEEP (the alternative edition, 2011-12)<br />
<strong>The</strong> echoes of a girl, a faded memory. She is the voice of the poem ‘Self of a girl’,<br />
that was inspired by the book 'Creme Fraiche' by Suzanne Brøgger and the notorious<br />
assertion by Simone de Beauvoir; 'One is not born, but rather becomes, a woman'.<br />
CONUNDRUM (2012) - including video RAG THE DOLL<br />
<strong>The</strong> 'Conundrum' - series is exploring feminism and the concept of the female object in<br />
visual arts.<br />
STATE OF MIND video (2012)<br />
Inspired by the life and destiny of Hypatia, this video is a compilation of the<br />
projection material that was made for a play called 'Hypatia'.<br />
ACT OF IMPRESSION (2013)<br />
‘Act of impression’ - series is acting out the female presence, disguised as mother<br />
nature. Alongside the knowledge that the impressionists were inspired by the<br />
photography itself, I reversed the state of impression into the language of a lucid<br />
illusion, dismantled and staged in four acts. 'Act of impression' celebrates the strength<br />
of being a woman, but it is also questioning the myth of the female role.
