In this work images of Hesse’s performance works and drawings dating between 2012-2018, have been printed onto pages of a book written in 1877 by Reverend Joseph Shillito. ‘Womanhood: A Book for Young Women. It’s Duties, Temptations and Privileges,’ was to serve as a set of instructions for how a woman should behave in society. Deemed by Hesse as a misogynist text that perpetuates patriarchal society, she has taken it upon herself to remove the artefact from existence. In an act that questions when the past should be removed from the present, and in very fragile fashion, the pages now depict performative acts of female repression, strength and cohesion.
