(Feminist) Code Book Series #1: Operation: Exquisite Corpse
This research-based photobook, Police Code Operation: Exquisite Corpse, forms the first volume in the (Feminist) Code Book series and serves as a practice-led component of my PhD. The project investigates femicide and the visual culture of true crime through a feminist lens, with particular attention to how women are represented in narratives of violent death.
Taking as a point of departure the 1841 murder of Mary Rogers—later fictionalised by Edgar Allan Poe—the work interrogates the aestheticisation and commodification of female victims within historical and contemporary contexts.
By reimagining archival material and deploying experimental photographic strategies, Exquisite Corpse critiques the structures of gendered violence embedded in both media and visual storytelling.
