Now You See Her depicts the spectacle, fragmentation, and vanishing of the female body, staging her as both attraction and disappearing act. Using projection, the work transforms her into a contested site of visibility and invisibility. This looping audio-visual performance moves through her conjuring and consumption, her dismemberment and objectification, and finally her erasure across cultural, domestic, political, and aesthetic representations, gone without a trace.
The projector extends the magic trick of women's visibility, slicing and reframing the body in a chamber of horrors that implicates everyone who looks. As viewers move around her and interrupt the projected light, they become part of the illusion itself. Their bodies block, distort, and reframe her image, exposing how looking is never neutral. The light that illuminates her is the same light that makes her disappear. Now you see her… but maybe you don't.
