The faces of two heavily made-up women are focused and, while they submit to each other's kisses and caresses, it becomes increasingly obvious that the camera is the main point of focus. Their interaction is silenced by the juxtaposition of a noisy and distracting soundtrack appropriated from an AM radio station: obscene jokes from talk show hosts and male listeners interacting with the crude words of a normative masculinity. Read against feminist film theory of the “male gaze,” the work is a response to the idea of a distinctively female artistic sensibility and a highly charged statement of the sexual politics that guides the acts of viewing and role-playing.
