I… Well… Can I? I don’t… Not sure… Okay.
I need to read an artist statement, so I can process this into something I can more easily grasp. My brain is having a hard time. It might be because I’m distracted by the boobies.
Right, so… Milo Moiré is a Swiss model and artist who is known for using her body in a SHOCKING fashion in her art. Here you can see her during a performance of “Mirror Box” in London being fondled by strangers and ultimately being detained by police officers.
Art. And woman decide when they can be touched and when not. Feminism and stuff.
Female power and sexuality, which Milo like demonstrated though wearing a mirrored box over her boobs and her general downstairs area and like letting strangers stick their hands inside the boxes for a period of 30 seconds in which time they were like invited to stroke Milo’s genitals, because art.
I… Well… Can I? I don’t… Not sure… Okay.
All kidding aside, did she ask them to wash their hands first? The germaphobe in me is dying right now. I don’t care how many people she let’s into her box, whether it’s for art or funsies, but can we get some baby wipes and some antibacterial gel all over the place. ALL OVER.
In one of the pictures, I can see Milo spraying something into some dude’s hands and I’m praying it was some sort of miracle KILLER OF ALL COOTIES, because people are gross.
The only question I have left is, when is she coming to a city near me? Hehe. I say that, but I think if I had happened to be in the crowd that day I would have wavered between feeling really uncomfortable and wanting to participate. I probably would have given in to my urge to participate, but I definitely would have felt really uncomfortable about it.
I guess that’s the point, though, of this sort of performance art. You’re suppose to question the limits of sexuality and consent.
