This is a series of stills I worked on with my youngest daughter during lockdown. She dressed in my ‘party’ tights and high heels, secreting herself under a rug, in a bed, under a yoga mat, in a laundry basket – one of these is being made into a print by Vide Atelier. The wanting to dress up and go out but having nowhere to go, and being sucked back in to the domestic zone despite the paraphernalia, is what I am examining. The scale of my daughter’s legs, not quite fitting the tights or shoes, taking the part, being the surrogate. My daughter is briefly lost to me.
