Sedition

The Sirens Call was made in response to Laura Jean Healey's original holographic film installation, The Siren.The three filmed performances return to the clichd image of the 'mythical temptress' to explore how women continue to be represented within art and to question how such representations are used to draw the audience into actively watching. By playing to the preconceived perceptions of the Siren, the three performances transcend the sexual clichs attached to the ultimate 'femme fatale' - beautiful, dangerous and always naked - and once again questions who is in control of the gaze: the watcher or the watched?The three performances are to be read as one single piece, where each film gives each Siren a unique and distinct voice, but when played together as one, their individual songs become one haunting melody, designed to both entice and disturb their audience.
