SIÈGE

2023 | Siege | Serie of site-specific performances documented each with a photograph

Siège consists of a series of site-specific performances where a woman assumes the vulnerable role of “prey” through the nakedness of her body. In this narrative, however, the prey is never caught. Instead, she uses her naked body to lay siege to the hunters’ favorite structures: their hunting towers, tree stands and ladders (Faire le siège stands for occupy in French).

Each performance is documented with a photograph. A small-format, anonymous and autographed print of this one remains pinned at the site of the siege, left to taunt the absent hunter. The poses deliberately ignore the formal codes of mainstream print-erotica in a rejection of the normalized representations of the ideal female body and its postures.
