"She Said, vol.6: Make Up Sex"
digital, 36 seconds, 2008
Dentistry and rubber glove footage was the raw material, manipulated in a kaleidoscope fashion, to evoke this lurid image for the backdrop to a video about the male dilemma of accepting undeserved make-up sex after a fight that was either forgotten or the outcome was misinterpreted. The original video is shot with my still digital camera (in video mode obviously) of the image off of the dentist's computer screen as they tried to look at an infection on William's gums. This was the first of this set of videos to get viewers, with a posting on Facebook it got over 200 hits in 10 hours and 1000 in its first week. Margaret worried about people thinking we are in trouble so I tried to make sure that people knew it was a piece of fiction.
