Good Boy, Bad Girl
Hong Kong

Artists
Joseph Lee & Paula Wong
Running time
1 hour mins

Good Boy, Bad Girl is a double bill of two solo performances examining the body politics of spectatorship. Working through regimes of conditioning, endurance and display, Wong and Lee foreground the body as something trained, exposed and consumed. Together, they ask how contemporary bodies are constructed and repaired within the aesthetic marketplace, where desire and visibility are structured and circulated. Moving between discipline and self-presentation, they trace the knotted relation between gendered performance and selfhood.
