SEX TAPE Gabrielle Revlock
About This Show
This performance is Part 2 in a longer work entitled Manifesto, about power, care and gender — where Revlock recreates moments in her life but shifts the focus by removing the man, who is replaced with a long-time female friend. ‘I wanted to complicate notions of what friendship can look and feel like, repatterning my own search for care.’ In the midst of #metoo, SEX TAPE physicalizes and brings into the public sphere an image of care and a positive representation of touch.
