walking in a mall with heels,

a dress+ a GoPro filming people calling me names

public performance, 2019

10m 7s

Walking through a Florida mall in high heels and a denim dress, I take up space, I strut, and I circle back several times to the men’s restroom: where I enter the stall, clack my heels, come out, and use the urinal. I'm affronted by people, but I created the conditions they operated in, knowing they would follow suit with what I expected them to do. If they gave me what I wanted, asked for, and orchestrated, who really exercised power?
