Her Writing
IRCAM Forum, Paris, France, 2023Video
Her Writing is an immersive VR performance that draws inspiration from the concept of écriture féminine to create a stream-of-consciousness sensory experience. The audience is invited to walk upon a huge, landscape-like female body, where the path forward is intentionally ambiguous to mirror the fluid, non-linear nature of the narrative. Utilizing motion capture technology, the work maps a performer’s live movements into this surreal virtual environment, reimagining the body as an evolving site of transformation where enigmatic figures interact with the form to evoke cycles of vulnerability, resistance, and regeneration.
The project explores the autonomy of the female body by incorporating the idea of vibrant matter, emphasizing a fluid materiality where the boundaries between the internal self and the external world become blurred. By focusing on these shifting bodily margins and the disorientation of the viewer's journey, the performance challenges conventional definitions of the "perfect body" and deconstructs fixed aesthetic standards.
