Oral Fixation

Co-authored Performance with Alma Gačanin, 00:15:49
2022

The performance was developed in collaboration with Alma Gačanin from a jointly authored script. It uses an online advertisement for "The Blow Job Bible" a guide to oral sex promising improved sexual performance, as the basis for a fictional dialogue between Robot Wife and Amber, an intern working at her husband’s company. Set within a dinner scene between Robot Wife and Amber, the performance begins with a fragmented dialogue between two women whose experiences appear impossible to reconcile. As the conversation continues, their separate narratives gradually move toward mutual recognition. Through the figure of Robot Wife, the performance materializes the fantasy of the perfectly functioning wife, creating a character who performs her role with mechanical precision. When this perfection still fails to secure her marriage, she begins to question the role itself.
