The video is a parody of the pop industry in which I dance with a mannequin. I have no desire to be a pop star however the inspiration for this piece was to put myself inside a pop video aesthetic and through editing produce a piece that could sit comfortably within the mainstream pop video genre.
The pop video is also about body aesthetics -- and rather than a disabled person trying to fit into the considered norm here I have presented a unique look which expands and challenges the conventions.
This film was first premiered at Goldsmiths College MA show 2004 and was awarded the Warden's Purchase Prize for video.
World, why are you still waiting for Katherine? She's HERE!
