In the video installation I’ll be your girl (2006) Thompson eschews the photograph as fetish……Thompson creates a metaphor for the violence that the image wreaks on the body. She denies us the anticipated pleasure of this idyllic scene of tender child’s play, instead asking that we consider how the image necessarily reduces and ossifies the infinite complexity of our being from earliest childhood. While this metaphor is strongest around the construction of the girl-child through identification with, followed by abjection of, the mother, Thompson’s concern is for the broader phenomenon of identity formation and the central role the image plays in the process.
