Man-ne-quin, French. Fashion doll, Middle Dutch. Mannekijn, little man.
The female body in the shop window: a spindly, incapable of action, easily steerable object. A non-human. Shop window dummies are there to display outward appearances. As an acting subject, my aim is to give form to the intangible. I deal with emotions and individual states of mind that are triggered by external conditions or arise from internal processes.
The performance Mannequin is the expression of a pent-up, silent rage that can only be tamed through visualization.
