In 2017, I worked together with theatre director and fellow doctoral research fellow Vincent Roumagnac to make the stage piece The Actress, which became the first clearly defined artefact to be produced by my research process. Its success strengthened my conviction to keep producing objects, even, or perhaps especially, when the object is the researcherly body itself.

.

In Spring 2021, Vincent and I came together again to produce a piece which is simultaneously independent work and the final act of our initial collaboration. We used layered video projection and aural remediation to frame, once and for all, that promiscuous research-object-animal, The Actress, in a Russian doll act of a machine in a machine in a machine.
