Plundering Alice
Alice in Wonderland was written by a man who adored little girls. On the surface it is a whimsical fantasy, in reality a multi-layered text which can be read in many ways. Nonsense rules, but power is mediated through food and desire while strange appetites tantalise the captive and the curious.
We enjoy the journey through Wonderland but then something disturbing almost wakes us from this dream - I plunder from Alice to explore some of these moments.
