you were once wild here is a film installation co-created by Oana Stanciu, Anne Kjær, Stephanie Lamprea, and Yuki Neoh. Originally exhibited at Inspace Gallery in Edinburgh, the installation features multi-screen projections of 'moving portraits' and a composition by Wende Bartley, performed by Stephanie Lamprea. By exploring images of public identity, gender performativity, female presence, expression, and testimony, the moving images seek to subvert the male gaze and become figures of power in the public space. The work is inspired by the ideas and works of Peruvian opera singer Yma Sumac, American writer and performer Adah Isaacs Menken, Spanish D/deaf nun and writer Teresa de Cartagena, American dancer Isadora Duncan, and Romanian dancer Miriam Răducanu. The film incorporates distortions and assemblages of bodies, moving portraits with object manipulation, and abstractions of British Sign Language.
The work is filmed and edited by Stanciu and performed by Kjær, Lamprea, and Neoh. Music is composed by Bartley and performed by Lamprea. Video and photo stills created by Oana Stanciu.
