Irish artist Jesse Jones’s Tremble Tremble is an interdisciplinary exhibition that employs installation, film, sound and performance to re-imagine feminist history. In its iteration at LASALLE’s Institute of Contemporary Arts Singapore, which is the exhibition’s first showcase outside of the 57th Venice Biennale, the theme of legacy is even more pronounced.
Through Tremble Tremble’s spell, Jesse hopes for “the viewer [to] feel that he is in a real space with other people and that requires a responsibility. Our presence is not a given. It is something we have to work towards.” Her comment is in appreciation of how women’s rights have evolved since the 1970s, and she hopes that female empowerment can continue to advance.
