Rachel Maclean
Russian premiere
Siri wakes to find herself trapped inside a brutalist candy-coloured dreamhouse, where she and her fellow inmates are forced to go head-to-head in a series of demeaning tasks. In Make Me Up, multimedia artist Rachel Maclean has created a world that is both seductive and dangerous; a place where surveillance, violence and submission are a normalised part of daily life.
