Fragonard; the swing
2015
Video Performance 

           The moving image is an appropriation of Fragonard’s canonized Rococo classic, The Swing. Through a queer lens I question beauty standards both in and out of queer culture by inserting my body into the painting. As I strive to hold the the pose my body becomes weak, that can be paralleled to the fragility of beauty and painting.
