Photos of white men, smiling politicians and managers, are superimposed onto excerpts of songs by female African- American stars (Rihanna, Beyoncé, etc.) all containing the lyrics “my body”. Bringing the images together in this way underscores the chasm between the bodies that are supposed to voice the opinions of others in the realm of politics, and those that describe the body’s experience. Between hallucination and daydream, the video examines the environment, its shortcomings and its possibilities.
