Description "Nobody's Daughter invites you to share the inner most secrets of a woman who risks everything for the promise of freedom. Take your... off , enter her boudoir and evesdrop on this tale of intrigue, deception and revenge. Nobody's Daughter takes to the extreme the idea that a woman can fashion the identity she desires. We may be born with a certain genetic inheritance but how we fashion and project it is what really counts.
This is the story of a woman, perhaps a new kind of femme fatale, who has metaphorically or perhaps literally, we are left to fathom this, killed off all aspects of her past life and lineage in pursuit of an idealised self. Her entire existence is played out for the benefit of both real and imaginary video. She is a performer who never seems to stop performing.
The work also had an outdoor component in which Nobody's Daughter appeared at random in the city becoming just another 'bit player' in the huge cast on the city stage."
