Artist Statement
In the current society of today the idea of the female body
is something that is fantasized about and the sight of their form is something
that the gaze is drawn to. Some shy away and some indulge in the pleasure of
knowing they are seen as an object of lust, desire and want. This objectification
of the female form has developed into the new normal because of society
dictating and supporting this version of the over-sexualized woman.
In this video work I want to exploit this flaw of society for
creating a societal atmosphere that influences individuals of any and all
identities to view the female body in this way. What is essentially a form of
degradation has been turned into something that is sought out by females and
embraced by others. There is almost no feeling of shame or embarrassment when
caught looking or “appreciating” the female body but rather a sense of entitlement.
This video shows clips of the female body in what can be considered a sexual
way in accompaniment of clips of portions of individuals faces to show the
actions and reactions that show instances of this exploitation of female
objectification happening.
