‘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.
