“Disinfection” by Jason Vasquez

pizzagrrl:

So here’s some pictures of the performance. Lauren Doty and I sculpted a vulva out of meat - we used a ham loaf, roast beef, and a vienna sausage for the clitoris. We set up the table as if we were having a dinner party, and we wrote euphemisms for vaginas on the plates. Then we read some really suggestive recipes out of a vintage cookbook, simulated menstruation using ketchup, and sliced up the vulva and served it to the class.

The point of the performance was to confront the way that female sexuality is objectified, disembodied, and portrayed as being made for men’s consumption. We’re also addressing the way that women are made to feel ashamed and disgusted of their bodies, while being compared to pieces of meat. I’m pretty happy with the way our project came out, hopefully I’ll be able to post a video of it soon!

I don’t think there’s a video of this, so here’s the pictures from the presentation Lauren and I did together. Enjoy!! - Gabby
