THE (UN)HOLY TRINITY
Three-Channel Digital 4K Film Installation
The (Un)Holy Trinity explores female objectification through a Biblical lens. The installation draws inspiration from three legendary ‘fallen’ women: Eve, Lilith and Salome, who through their supposedly ‘unnatural’ acts of defiance, aggression, or desire for autonomy, have been demonised to serve as a warning as to how destructive female sexuality can be if left unchecked.
The three-filmed performances seek to not only explore these women in their moment of defiance, but to challenge the demonised perceptions of the so-called ‘unnatural’ woman. Each performance celebrates these women for their supposedly ‘unwomanly’ ways by drawing upon the moment each woman asserts her will, to reveal her true inner strength and agency in order to defy the traditional and suffocating roles that have long been allotted to them. By extension, the films seek to question why these ingrained perceptions of powerful women as shameful or demonic - views that deny female strength and sexuality - still exist today.
The (Un)Holy Trinity was produced in collaboration with Sedition, an online digital gallery platform, to celebrate International Women’s Day.
