          This Pleasant Lady

          Victoria Mapplebeck, Sandra Gaudenzi & Jamie Perera / Michelle Feuerlicht / United Kingdom & Italy

          Part memoir, part detective story, This Pleasant Lady invites audiences inside a reimagined MRI scanner to travel through Victoria Mapplebeck’s body as a living archive of motherhood, cancer, desire, survival and the quiet cost of being “pleasant.”

          This Pleasant Lady is an immersive installation that turns my 61-year-old body into a living archive. Inside a reimagined MRI scanner, audiences enter a chamber where projection, binaural sound, voice and memory create the sensation of travelling through a life, past four brushes with death. Told through the machinery that saved me, the project explores survival, ageing, motherhood, desire and the stories our bodies carry. Audiences enter my body as archive and leave reflecting on their own, the scars, memories, diagnoses, relationships and survival stories their own bodies carry.
