Femme is part of the REplay Series. It examines the inability to 'fit' the ideal of femininity, resulting in femme rather than feminine. Stiletto high heel shoes are filled with dissection pins. A tiny makeup compact reflects a video loop of endlessly putting on and wiping off various shades of lipstick unable to find one that works.
The REplay Series explores gender, sexuality, and memory through psychological loops shot on Super8 film and transferred to video, suggesting home movies or a flickery memory. Objects, rhymes, games, technologies, stories and even taunts from childhood reverberate both personally and culturally. Here, a woman tries to remember and forget by enacting and reframing old gestures. Video and sound loops on LCD screens are embedded into objects and projected, some repeating endlessly while others controlled by the presence of the viewer or the whims of the live stock market.
