SCREENINGS DESCRIPTION 배우 헬렌 미렌이 토크쇼 사회자 마이클 파킨슨과 나눴던 대화를 작가가 노래 및 공연으로 재구성한 작품으로, 생방송으로 기록된 텔레비전 프로그램의 구성 방식 안에 나타나는 즉흥성과 권력 균형에 대해 탐구하고, 역사적인 성차별의 예로 자주 언급되는 특정 인터뷰를 인용(re-cite)하거나 암송(recite)한다. Dame 2 recreates an interview on Parkinson with Helen Mirren from 1975, transcribed and performed as a song by Elkin. She is backed by a choir of associates and friends she corrals into chanting in loose harmony. The work explores the notion of improvisation and power-balance within the recorded-as-live TV format, and re-cites/recites this particular interview, which is so often referenced as an example of historic sexism. The work was originally a performance in 2013, and was repurposed as a video in 2016 for the exhibition Television at CCA Glasgow.
