Becoming Siren, 27 x 21 cm, 104 pages, offset print, VEXER Verlag, Berlin, 2020

Becoming Siren links the cultural history of the Siren with the story of the legendary ‘siren suit’, an overall worn by women in England during World War II. This suit was also worn by the dancers of the eponymous performance group ‘The Sirens’. Performing in bunkers and underground shelters during the Blitzkrieg, they developed a choreography that transformed the state of emergency into a rite of passage. Within this narrative, a space unfurls for a utopian social moment in which gender polarities and class differences dissolve.
