2007 | fitting in: attempts #1 & #2 | Two life-sized lightjet photographic prints
In these pieces, I perform for the camera, challenging the “roles” played in a woman's everyday life. The work questions the rigidity of gender conventions, social norms, and institutional formalities by juxtaposing masculine with feminine, childhood with adulthood, innocence with insight, and uniformity with nonconformity. In these images, the distorted scale and awkward bodily contortions suggest my failures, (OR successes?), to “fit in.”
