Watch Deux Femmes: for Man Ray (2017) Online

Deux femmes (for Man Ray) creates a dialogue with Man Ray's porno footage that was found in his atelier after his death in a canister titled "Deux Femmes", shot in 1937. Man Ray's preoccupation with the female body as sculpture and the imminence of amateur pornography today, were what necessitated a dialogue to me. Adhering to his particular compositions and actions within them, I collected matching shots from online amateur pornos. Then I printed the frames, and presented them in the video as a paper stack. This unhurried process of paper stacking slows down the otherwise speedy porn media consumption and allows us to examine the female body as sculpture today
