Monstrous little women 2006
Three channel live video performance

Monstrous little Women is a live video performance, in which
female stereotypes in horror films are being explored. A common thread connecting the different films, is how evil is being present in
the women as something unstable and hysterical. It is though the unstable feminine nature "evil forces" can harness and exist.

The evil feminine subject in horror films, is being explored through samples taken from a selection of horror movies from the 1950`s
until today. The VJ panel is programmed in studio max, making a
live three channel video projection. Audio and video samples are
being scratched and re-sampled to soundtracks from the album "Syklubb fra hælvete". This album was the firstrelease made by
Fe-mail, a noise duo consisting of Maja Ratkje and Hild Sofie Tafjord.

The performance is a collaboration with artist and musician
Anne Bang-Steinsvik and has been played live at Young Artist
Society, Oslo, Gallery Barbara Hansen, Oslo, Netmage Live Media festival, Bologna and Landmark, Bergen kunsthall, Bergen.
