Dawn Woolley: Visual Pleasure



Images from Dawn Woolley’s opening night performance 20/7/11
21 July – 6 August
Turner House
Visual Pleasure is an enquiry into the act of looking and being looked at. Referring to psychoanalysis, phenomenology and feminism, Woolley considers the experience the viewer has when looking at her as a female and a photographic object. In a practice that encompasses photography, video, sculpture, installation and performance, she questions how we interpret what we see and how meaning is created by social regulation, expectation and desire.
