Image shows the exhibition set up for Erotic Ecologies. The studio exhibition walls are painted all black, the light is dimmed, and the set up is backlit with a LED light fixture. On the left wall, there is a shelf installed with zines on top. The set up is a plaster sculpture of a hole suspended on clear acrylic rods. It is surrounded by 4 monitors on the top of poles. The monitors are angled looking into the hole. The sculpture and monitors are all held in place with an elevated black wooden platform Jenna John: Erotic Ecologies Undergraduate Jenna John: Erotic Ecologies
There are three characters total, each created on my body with prosthetics, heavy makeup, and costuming. I created each of their physical attributes with scar wax and prosthetics that I bought online. Brenda has a blonde updo, and has large cheekbones from plastic surgery that have aged and wrinkled over time. She has large, injected lips. She wears a blue velour tracksuit and tennis shoes. Each of Brenda's photographs are framed in ornate, gold frames. Mia is a bad-ass brunette woman based on Uma Thurman in Pulp Fiction. She is wearing ripped, boot-cut jeans, and a black zip-up. She has very chiseled cheekbones, luscious lips, and high eyebrows. All of her photographs are framed in dark wooden frames. Amber has very, very large injected lips, and long blonde hair extensions. She is wearing a pink matching set. She vapes. Josie Burck: What If? Undergraduate Josie Burck: What If?
