I Wed Myself. 2010
Double channel video projection
3' 02''
In the video, called I Wed Myself the artist assumes the role of both the bride and the groom simultaneously in a wedding dress-up. (…) Spaces of femininity still regulate women's lives at least in countries like Bangladesh - from facing the disturbing looks by men on the streets to surviving mortal sexual assaults. As a consequence it remains relevant to cultivate a feminist analysis to perceive and detect its sexualized structures, to develop unconventional models for negotiating these areas.
