Description

“The Cursor in My Mouth” forms a partial sequence within the larger work “Cache of a Deleted Girl.” Developed through AI-based processes, the overarching project asks what happens to a female identity after it has been exorcised, rethinking haunting not as possession but as hosting — a careful, temporary act of carrying another within oneself. Within this framework, “The Cursor in My Mouth” isolates a moment of articulation: language as a site where identities pass through, overlap, and persist. The broader work unfolds from a fragment — a piece of red fabric linked to Roberta Breitmore, the persona once embodied and later exorcised by Lynn Hershman Leeson — opening a speculative space around the afterlife of constructed selves. Across the project, a poem functions as both script and generative structure. Its lines prompt AI-generated imagery that merges self-portraiture, archival references, and synthetic body fragments. Figures appear as composites, while a cloned voice carries the text without anchoring it to a fixed body. In this system, identities are not singular but assembled, shared, and temporarily inhabited. Positioned within this framework, “The Cursor in My Mouth” emphasizes the act of voicing as a form of transmission. Feminism emerges here as a genealogy without bloodline — a mediated inheritance in which exorcised identities are held collectively. Haunting becomes an act of feminist care: a shared practice of sustaining presence across bodies.
