Femme Disturbance, 2024

Femme Disturbance was a solo exhibition of film and drawings that investigated a closeted adolescence, its surrounding family dynamic and the empowering figure of the Action Heroine.

To tell these stories the Sisters are interviewed and the Adolescent speaks alongside the Critic. Home movie footage and action heroine performances across Hollywood film and video games are reembodied, cut and collaged.
