Viv cuts out chains of paper dolls.
Look, they are children holding hands.
When she is finished there will be 11 million of them.
She wants you to see them.
To see how delicate they are.
Each doll personifies a hidden story of survival.
Each cut of the scissors, a decisive expression of defiance.
Part performance, part installation, part collective act of resistance - Cutting Out tells Viv’s 1 in 11 million story of survival with tenderness, loud silliness and quiet rage.
Cutting Out is previewing in Autumn 2021
