‘The Managed Body’ explores how pressure surrounding gender-based violence can accumulate slowly over time through everyday bodily routines and repeated gestures. Using close bodily framing, layered sound and blood-like imagery, the film transforms ordinary domestic actions such as brushing teeth, applying cream and removing clothing into increasingly uncomfortable and emotionally charged performances. As the film progresses, the visuals and bodily sounds become faster, closer and more overwhelming, reflecting the gradual build-up of frustration, pressure and collective tension. The work explores how small, repeated experiences and acts of resistance can accumulate into wider political pressure for change.

This iteration documents women moving through London following the local election results, combining camcorder footage, layered voice recordings and ambient city sound to capture an atmosphere of collective unease. The work explores how political shifts can alter the everyday public space, focusing on small gestures, movement and observation.

The film examines how private conversations and anxieties between women can become part of a wider collective feeling.

‘They did not see us coming’ explores how private experiences of violence against women can accumulate into a collective political pressure. The work presents red footsteps across a bed sheet, transforming a domestic object associated with intimacy and vulnerability into a surface marked by bodily trace and collective pressure. Accompanied by a collective monologue performed by women, the piece shifts from individual testimony into a unified voice. Through repetition, accumulation, and sound the iteration visualises solidarity, resistance, and the growing demand for visibility and change surrounding gender-based violence.
