4’x4’ Cibachromes and 20”x 24” B&W Photographs, Harley Davidson on Revolving Platform, Video and Sound
“Who’s Zoomin’ Who?” parodies the pornographic “male gaze.” Its elements juxtapose the masculine subculture images of biker babe magazines and tool girl calendars with the feminist critique of representation. The motorcycle and the photos of Annie Sprinkle, (ex porn star and performance artist), operate as signs of power, freedom and pleasure usually associated with the male gaze. In this case these signs of “male” pleasure are appropriated to signify these qualities in and between women.
