Selling Venus/Vénus au miroir originated in a striptease club in Osaka, Japan and took me to the Crazy Horse in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Using photography and video, I recorded back-room rituals of beautification to explore the female gaze as it divides inwardly and outwardly in the frame of a make-up mirror. Selling Venus/Vénus au miroir investigates the process of subjectivity as it simultaneously coalesces and fragments in gesture and ritual, calling attention to the performative acts of self-transformation that women enact every day.
