Vee Speers was born in Australia and has been living in Paris since 1990. Her most recent work, The Birthday Party, is a series of short stories linked by the theme of an imaginary birthday party. In a conceptual and technical departure from her previous work, it is partly a self-portrait, sometimes woven with threads from her own childhood.

There is something unnatural and unnerving about prepubescents modeling as adults. It conjures Lolita angst and memories of the cruelty of a child forced to be woman (Interview with a Vampire – TaxI Driver). This unsettling atmospheric quality gives these images potency. Is she cuddling or strangling that rabbit? Are they ingenue or Children of the Corn like psychos? More please I want the complete gothic fairytale.
