This article by the BBC gives an in depth understanding into Victoria's Secret and how their refusal to promote body positivity led to the company's UK branch going into administration. This is a simple article that is useful for those of you who buy Victoria's Secret underwear, but also those of you interested in how the covid and climate crises are changing the retail industry.

'Oblivion Review' by Camila Fitzgibbon in FTA Review

This was one of the only reviews of Sarah Vanhee's Oblivion that I could find that was in English. Oblivion has been a really helpful show during Call Us Angels (for more information on how it has been helpful, click here). In this review, Fitzgibbon takes you through the show by Vanhee in detail, giving you more of an insight into what happens during the 2 hour production. Her commentary, alongside several pictures and videos builds a succinct picture of Oblivion, so much so you can start to imagine being at the show yourself.

Oblivion by Sarah Vanhee. 

Sarah Vanhee is a Belgian artist whose work is varied and interdisciplinary. I have felt very connected to her 2015 performance Oblivion. One reason for this is that in Oblivion Vanhee collected all of her waste for a year, a challenge that I have also undertaken during Call Us Angels. I would recommend seeing Oblivion if it ever comes back on tour (I know I'll be be the first one buying a ticket if it ever does). The next best thing is to check out Vanhee's website by clicking here. I would also suggest combining your research with the above review of Oblivion which can be accessed by clicking here. If you want to know more about how Oblivion has impacted my thoughts during Call Us Angels, click here. Whilst researching Oblivion, start to question when does trash become art and what does it mean to re-use trash to make art?
