The middle section (waist to knees) of the artist’s body is seen jumping. The artist is wearing a frilly, layered skirt that lifts and falls with the jumping motion. At moments the skirt lifts far enough to reveal the artist’s crotch. The video speed is decreased by 50%, lowering the tone of the artist’s grunts. The video raises contradictions in gender and power relationships. The low tone of the grunts contradicts the frilly skirt and female genitalia. While the jumper is made vulnerable by her feminity and moments of exposure, she is also in a position of power because the angle of the shot sets her above or on tope of the viewer. |
