The hunter erects the city

I entered the women’s most sacred, secret space to explore femininity as a union of sexuality and freedom. The Sulphur baths teem with naked bodies, but that profusion of flesh and skin leaves room to disremember beauty standards and recreate a more complete and truthful feminine figure. I disassembled women’s bodies to find unity. The creative process was like an epiphany as the partition revealed a unique wholeness. Yet that which creates can also destroy. Our modern world (ab)uses this creative process: in advertisements, images and words are cut into pieces and collaged together to misrepresent and damage the female body. The path to shape our bodies according to a dictated, widely internalized model can lead to alienation. At the end of that track, we often only hurt our bodies and our confidence. As I delved into the video’s verbal element, I discovered texts written by women - their words were bold, their messages daring. I disassembled those sentences through cut-up techniques. What I have got as a final result could be a general feminine manifesto. And my personal one. It is our collective, perfect body-- and its voice.
