Description
Work by Yarli Allison and Letitzia Miro selected for the Manifestations exhibition by curator Laurence Hill for 'Full Stack Feminism in Digital Humanities', a project funded by the AHRC and the IRC, part of their ‘UK-Ireland Collaboration in the Digital Humanities Research Grants Call’ (grant numbers AH/W001667/1 and IRC/W001667/1).
In this work Yarli Allison collaborates with Letizia Miro, a Spanish poet and sex worker who migrated to London many years ago. The moving-image work explores the story of Letizia as an ‘ideal’ character for the clients’ imagination in a dual-screen setting. The image of ‘the ideal’ is initially an aesthetically/ mentally pleasing product as well as a coping mechanism. The work aims to reveal the less visible material reality behind the curtain of ‘the ideal’, by combining Letizia’s creative writing, voice performance, Littio X’s sound art, and Yarli’s digital modelling as a semi-fictional documentary.
The screen work was supported by an installation of sculptural objects, fabrics and drawings
