This video documents the artist’s attempt to find and connect with a stock image model, referred to online as ‘Ariane’. Whilst overexposed ‘Ariane’ is simultaneously anonymous and ultimately invisible. Casting herself in the role of protagonist ‘Naomi’ performs and adopts various strategies in her quest for intimacy with ‘Ariane’. In doing so, she explores the status of images in our contemporary visual culture and the relationship they hold with representation, power, exploitation and identity.
Ariane has been exhibited at Turf Projects, Platform Southwark and screened as part of Pixelache in Helsinki and online in the Wrong Biennale.
