KINETICA ART FAIR 2011
Ambika P3, London, February 2011
Exhibiting at Kinetica Art Fair for the first time, Laura Jean Healey showcased her second film, Act II - The Swan in her holographic film installation trilogy, Smoke & Mirrors.
Performed by international burlesque performer, Roxy Velvet, the Swan plays to and holds the look of the audience, signifying the male desire and embodying the feminine ideal. This is where she casts her spell over the audience, leaving them transfixed by a mere ephemeral light (holographic film) image to reveal to her spellbound audience her complete control over the fantasy, the maker of meaning and emerges as the true representative of power.
