SHADOW SELF (2018)

​

An outdoor site-responsive performance and two outdoor performances to camera.

These works explore the initiation of a new character archetype based on the shadow of the self for the ‘Two/ Three/ Four Women Series’.

 

In 'Trace the Field Line' Miller’s solitary figure is framed in the landscape that imposes an infinitesimal sense of proportion on her body. She creates a series of cinematic tableaus that are visually arresting and have a sense of longing. Her timeless clothing is covered in an earth pigment that unites her with her environment. She dilly-dallys, her disjointed movements show a sense of otherness, before she disappears into the horizon, tracing the field line with red ribbons strung from a weightlifting bar. This performance resonates with imagery of Land Girls, the painting Christina’s World, and the film Kloot.
