performative installation
Mons Pubis Veneris
The long twisted hair coming out of her vulva is a breath of air. During the performance, we create braids of female genitalia - the subject of sexuality and passion, but also of shame, control and power. Through the act of braiding, we grow her. We embrace her presence, extend her length and breathe her wildness. We shape her deeply rooted presence through the shared ritual and space.
