Destroy she said (D.S.S.)

In Destroy She Said (D.S.S.), 1998, a two video projections display a series of excerpts from films made from the 1950s through the 1970s. Images of women leaning against a wall, perhaps looking for shelter or comfort, alternate with clips that show the relationship between the subjects and their domestic architectural settings. While removed from their original context, the excerpts, projected onto plasterboard screens, retain their emotional charge, which at times becomes almost dramatic. Scattered around the screens are random materials left over from construction sites. The installation reveals the relationship of constriction and submission that, also in the language of film, seems to insistently link the female body to its surrounding architectural spaces.
