| Subject: Feminist idiot: The only way to get people to stop checking out their bodies was to have them be naked Fri Jan 06, 2012 12:23 am | |
| An all-nude feminist piece by Young Jean Lee kicks off the Walker's 2012 Out There performance series.
Young Jean Lee's "Untitled Feminist Show" is performed by a group of naked women, but it's not about the body, and it's not meant to be sexy. In fact, said Lee, her intention was exactly the opposite.
"It was the only way they wouldn't be objectified," said Lee in a phone call from her New York home. "No matter what I put them in, there would still be something sexy about it. I even had them in astronaut outfits at one point, and they were still sexy. The only way to get people to stop checking out their bodies was to have them be naked."
