Loreal Prystaj
The work here focuses on the human psyche and specifically on inherited trauma from normative gender roles existing in the domestic sphere. By revisiting my own home in American suburbia, I was reacquainted with motifs and household items used in life-long act by women to 'play house'. By erotically performing as a 'prop', I transform these once familiar spaces into a mise en scène, highlighting the connection between the environment and the internal states of women past and present. By aggressively and assertively impersonating or 'playing the house', I attempt to reclaim these estranged and alienating domestic spaces to free myself and the next generations from the restrictions disallowing women to feel liberated, in penance for their greatest gift – life.
