I'm a Stripper: Boylesque!

2014 • 42 min
James & the Giant Pasty has his very own harem of young men. He's the ringmaster and snake charmer of Boylesque T.O., Canada's first all-male burlesque troupe. This talented group of dancers, actors, and performance artists has been busting their buns to put male nudity and sexuality back center-stage where it belongs. Their diversity and openness to different expressions of sexuality and body types is well renowned. A Boylesque show is guaranteed to leave you hot under the collar, howling with laughter, and screaming for more! Though his troupe is a mosaic of gay, bisexual and tri-anything - James is decidedly and (surprisingly!) straight. So just what lures a straight man into this world of wigs, sequins, and bawdy delights? Perhaps this Queen Bee likes having his own gay honey hive.
The Machinist's Lament

The Machinist's Lament

2014 • 18 min • United States of America
"In factories, everyone has their place. Western industrial production is a site of magical thinking: an old history that will never return, an idealized construction that never really was. It's impossible to know what the true costs would be if it were to return - societal, environmental, and psychological – and yet, entire political campaigns are built around this. This piece speculates on re-industrialization, and is a sequel to my 2013 video, Safety First (Bad, Don’t Touch, Mercy!). Like its prequel, it posits a non-specific future populated by female factory workers. The geometric aesthetics of power and the romance of industrial-era alienation, are paired with theoretical and fictional texts about alternate social economies. Video footage was shot in Ohio, animation and soundtrack by the artist. Voiceover text sources include Industrial supply catalogs, OSHA safety manuals, Monique Wittig’s Les Guerilleres, and Adorno’s Minima Moralia." -Taken from Jen Liu's Vimeo page.
