Lilian Bielefeld, Cutting out of society’s web, Video performance with self-designed fabric and yarn processed with laser, still, 2023
The video deals with the web of partly contradictory expectations of society into which women are born. Even if they wanted to, they could not fulfill them all. But do they really need to? The individual strands, which among other things address the appearance and behavior of women, say, for example:
- Be skinny. Eat less.
- Eat more. Men like flesh to grab.
- Be dirty. Be hot. Be sexy. Show some skin.
- Be pure. Save yourself.
Lilian Bielefeld is studying art education at Augsburg University.
