I peel off my fragile skin 2021 Directed by Selena Isho
The manifesto of the artist is aimed at criticizing the dominant masculine structure of the world, patriarchal authority, and social inequality. In an attempt to rebuild her own female corporeality and gain social power, the heroine only finds herself facing her own fragility and vulnerability again. The video features a voice-over of the artist’s feminists’ letter, read by a Google voice assistant. This represents a delegation of the familiar act of speaking to someone else, as her own voice has never been heard before. Unintentional deformation of language occurs, raising the question of who the language belongs to.
