ladycoy
Ladycoy is a collaboration between Leonardo Bonanni and myself. It explores the threshold of male stupidity as well as the persistent sexism endured by women of western society. This experiment adopts an approximation of the female form made from wire, cloth, papier-mache and surveillance equipment. Ladycoy can be found in the alleys and streets of Boston, witnessing the nightly occurrences that surround her. In the gallery, she brings you her account of a night on the street – the boredom, the car horns, and the confused harassment. Ladycoy is at once an experimental platform, a piece of performance art, and a statement on the state of the sexes. She is both a test of male perception and a system for examining the world from particular perspective. Standing alone in the city, she performs for a ruthless audience. Ladycoy illustrates an experience of harassment, and the meaning to treating someONE like someTHING.
