XTRA Interview: FRANCESCA DA
REMINI "All women are Ghosts" . Francesca
da Remini talks about two of her recent projects.
FDR
the project which I made in 1997 98 was called DOLL
SPACE and it is a very hypertext environment on
the Web it is about 700 pages and with a 30 minute soundtrack
and many animations and graphics. And DOLLSPACE is a
world of ghosts and it arose from a time that I spent
in Kyoto in Japan and I was staying in a little rice
paper hut in the mountains and the local people showed
me a pond or a small lake and this is were for centuries
women used to drown their baby daughters because there
had been a practise of female infanticide in Japan.
Just has there has been and is still in many other parts
of the world. And I found that a very haunting and disturbing
image that for so many centuries the local women had
come to this particular place were I was staying and
had to kill the daughters that they had just given birth
to because they were female and not male. And um...
I wasn't doing anything in Kyoto I wasn't there for
art reasons I was just there really to have a holiday
so I had a lot of spaciousness in my imagination. During
that period a character came to me called DOLL YOKO
and she was a little ghost girl and she was really I
guess the embodiment for me of all the little girls
who had drowned in this pond. And at the time I was
having an email dialogue with an activist, a Mexican
activist in New York RICARDO DOMINGUEZ and the voice
of DOLL YOKO began to speak to him. It was a small voice
and very sweet and very melancholic and through this
exchange like many of my other characters um... it became
DOLL YOKO seemed to take on a life and a voice of her
own. And RICARDO DOMINGUEZ the activist suggested to
me that I build a pond in cyberspace, on the Internet
for DOLL YOKO and all the other little ghost girls to
inhabit. To cut a long story short that is what I did.
I had a couple of residencies in Adelaide and in London
and I learnt how to write the HTML code which is the
language behind web pages and how to use software which
I'd used a little bit during VNS MATRIX. But in the
MATRIX I mainly wrote and this was much more about making
a multimedia environment of the big drifting space of
DOLL YOKO. It was only going to be a fairly small website
of about 100 pages but I found that the more I fell
into that pond of dead girls the more stories and characters
suggested themselves. And also it was a way to weave
in some of the research I had done on the virtual communities
about female sexuality violence power dysfunctional
families, imaginative relationships gender fucking and
so on. So the pond of dead girls ended up being a home
for different ghosts different traces of ideas. So that
was an interesting real world theoretical and social
real world social counterpoint to the imaginary characters
that were coming up out of my pond of dead girls. Also
in DOLL SPACE I included quite a lot of emails from
friends and wove them into the narrative because I find
email a really interesting medium a kind of minor literature
at times. And I always think it is a shame that when
someone sends you an email basically you are the only
person who reads it where as if you can rework it into
a narrative it becomes a communication that can be shared
with many people. And also the core text of DOLL SPACE
is quite a short poem and that was in part the crystallisation
of many months of email dialogue with a couple of people.
Q: did you have response from
the people in Kyoto?FDR
No response from the people directly in Kyoto but I
have made contact with various Japanese artists and
writers who have enjoyed the character of DOLL YOKO
and who feel that she speaks something to them as well.
And also through out DOLL SPACE there are a lot of images
taken from pornography that I found in Japan that you
could buy just as in the corner shop where you buy your
milk and you buy a little 5 dollar magazine and often
of very young girls... girls who look like they are
only maybe 12 or 16 so I was working with those kinds
of images and they became another kind of manifestation
of DOLL YOKO the infantilised sexualised um... young
Asian female. Who also embodies some of the complexity
I feel about pornography and how much it is enjoyable
and how much it is problematic when it is involving
younger people. Q. Did you
get DOLL YOKO feed back from JAPANESE Feminists?
FDR Yeah I haven't
really met as far as I can tell from only short times
in Japan, there is not a really big Feminist movement
there But I've met Japanese artists who are dealing
with sexuality and gender and had positive responses
to the project. I think DOLL YOKO is interesting because
she is a ghost and she says: All women are ghosts and
should rightly be feared, and: All history is pornography,
Laws are made by men who fuck their daughters. So she's
a wise and not exactly cynical ghost but embodies both
I mean paradoxically carries both the innocence of a
child's view of the world with a very old way of looking
at power relationships. But because she's a ghost she
can slip through worlds she can manifest in different
ways um... she can initiate a series of hauntings that
might be people's own experiences that have haunted
them or looking at the haunted spectres of power you
know in our current world... she operates in both the
small world of the family and what happens with the
power relationships within family and misuse of power
and then within a much wider social context.
Q: So it originated in Kyoto but has a much larger cultural
life?FDR
Yeah the origins were definitely from Kyoto from staying
by this pond of dead girls but what DOLL YOKO explores
I think is the world of power from the perspective of
someone who was born female and who has grown up in
a female body and has had experiences that are directly
linked to being inhabiting a female body. So her commentary
on the family on love relationships on war on technology
and equity come from this experience of being a socialised
female. But not necess... all to do then with just staying
in Japan it's looking at yeah at the industrial yeah
the post industrial world And Fourth world first world
relations as well. Q: DOLL
YOKO says all women are ghosts and should be feared...can
you talk about that?FDR
When DOLL YOKO says all women are ghosts and should
rightly be feared I think I'm referring to ... an I
don't know because lines come up out of you and you
don't always know where they are coming from and why
they are coming... but to me it suggests that because
in most societies for at least for the last 3000 years
women have been dis-empowered they haven't held the
social control of the societies or the communities that
they have been inhabiting even of they have had control
within the family So they're ghosts socially they are
invisible I mean we just have to look at whose in politics
at the moment how many women do you see how many women
do you see how women are represented in the media etc.
etc you know compared to men women are invisible and
they're dis-empowered and they're disenfranchised and
therefore they are dangerous and therefore you are wise
to recognise this and you are wise to fear them. Because
people who have been denied power are dangerous because
at one point they are going to come to the point that
the where they are going to say basta, enough is enough
we are no longer going to live on our knees. And they
will fight to take back that which has been taken from
them.
FDR.
One project that I've been involved with for the last
two years is called IDENTITY RUNNERS and it was
conceived of by a New York artist DIANNE LUDEN and she
invited me and an Italian activist writer filmmaker
to play with her. And we had three characters. My character
was LIQUID NATION and she is really a critique of the
globalisation of power, another character is DISCORDIA
and she's coming out of the debris of post hallucinogenic
society and DIANNE'S character EPHEMERA is tracing her
research that she is doing into bioethics biotechnology
and also the labour conditions of particularly women
working in assembling computers say in sweatshops around
the world. Yeah so these are very loose frameworks for
characters and we've got a very open source project
so we're creating websites and we are also doing web
based performances and everything that we're writing
we're uploading to a common database. So I might make
an animation or a series of texts and then the other
two characters can download those mutate them upload
them to the database and the whole body of work is getting
larger and larger but it is completely open source and
at different moments we invite people to come in and
play with us software developers, musicians 3D animators.
So we've been doing a few performances in some club
environments in New York and Sydney and Rome also we
did one performance in Montreal were none of us were
present but we sent all of the material and the instructions
for a video live mix and we actually logged in through
IRC and did an hour long improvisation from drawing
material form the text databases. So I think that is
an interesting example of how the new technologies um...
cut across three people being separated you know incredible
geographic distances. We don't have much money for this
project, we like to work bilingually or in three languages
depending on who is coming to play with us and none
of us own any of the material that is all anti-copyright
and open source um. I mean for me that is an interesting
project and I thought after VNS MATRIX I wouldn't become
involved again with a collective because it takes up
a lot of energy maintaining the collective whether it
is an art collective or a cyberfeminist collective but
this is quite organic so it is a fun place a fun new
digital sand pit to play in ....
