³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ

Available for over a year

Last year, poet Helen Mort discovered that images taken from her social media page had been uploaded to a porn website. Users of the site were invited to edit the photos, merging Helen's face with explicit and violent sexual images. This is deepfake pornography. In I see You: Poetry Porn and Me, Helen reclaims her voice as she reflects on this experience and charts the journey she has taken to come to terms with being a victim. Unable to get support from the law - as deepfakes are not illegal - Helen navigates a new path for herself. She speaks to storytellers, vocal coaches, tattooists and others on this journey, which interrogates how we look at women’s bodies, and the way women are valued and in turn, value themselves. Weaving between poetry and interviews, the programme follows Helen through the different stages of letting go, rediscovering her voice and restoring some control over what happened to her.
