What's My Mother Fucking Name

2007 · 5 min

"What’s My Mother Fuckng Name" is a short video poem that explores the puzzling and often hazardous task of being human. The narrator moves through issues of sex work, queer and feminine identity, class, immigration, consumerism, global health and quality of life. The dense narration is juxtaposed against a voyeuristic, bird’s eye view of a female bondage model struggling to be free from the ropes that bind her. Originally shot on black and white Super 8 film, this four and a half minute video invites its audience to question ourselves and the world we live in.
