OUAD602- PPP 3 Ideas/ Research

Liminal Space –> Webcam Girl Websites, A space in which offers a sex service of sorts, without either part engaging in a physical act with one another. Even though there is ownership of business, the space in which the exchange of an act of sexual stimulation for money is one that is liminal.

Phenomena of Webcam Girls –> Performativity (Strip tease, lap dancing etc).. the enjoyment and exploitation of men. Vs. Vulnerable women needing money. Vs. Overbearing Pimps.

Idea –> Interviewing webcam girls. Documenting their confessions? Their loss of innocence?

Here looking at Gillian Wearing’s, Conffessions. She provided men with a safe space to confess what ever they may choose by giving them masks. However the masks themselves have their own narrative which invokes feelings of fear of the unkown behind the mask. The masks are also childlike and the eyes are dark.

I have missed making, as in using my hands to practically make things in the studio and wonder if experimenting with mask making is a good step forward in this project?

I also need to set up interviews with webcam girls.
