Ballou, Hannah [Artist] (2016) goo:ga. 58 min.

Abstract

goo:ga is performance practice research that investigates dissonance manifested by the juxtaposition of funniness and sexiness in a feminist critique of patriarchal and postfeminist conceptions of pregnancy and maternity. It is a feminist reclamation of fertility as spectacle, a resistance to the guilty pleasure of binary foetal gendering, and an investigation into the neo-burlesque potential of exploiting multiple modes of sexiness (Lintott & Irvin, 2016) whilst harnessing the comic abjection of pregnancy.
