The Noon Complex spans a distinct body of work—ranging from video installation, slide projection, and performance to works on paper, each in turn taking on Godard’s film Le Mépris (Contempt), it’s main location—the Villa Malaparte on Capri—and the figure of the female protagonist, Camille, played by Brigitte Bardot. These multiple works embrace conceptual issues of site versus model, presence versus absence, gender and image-making, as well as issues of copyright and ownership. Their network of adaptations and associations elicits questions about economies of authorship and gender, as well as the relationship between objects, sculptural, cinematographic and architectonic space. The Noon Complex extends Siegel's ongoing interests in colliding cinema, architecture and performance, and in collapsing boundaries between the singular fixity of film and the live repetitions of theater.
