I Want You to Draw Me Like One of Your French Girls (2019)
Video (09:50)
at Allt á sama tíma, autumn show of Hafnarborg museum, Hafnarfjörður, IS.
Curated by Andrea Arnarsdóttir and Starkaður Sigurðarson
(Re-exhibited in 2023 at the exhibition ‘Our Art’ collection exhibition at Reykjavík Art Museum)
The work I want you to draw me like one of your French girls was part of the autumn show in Hafnarborg Museum in 2019, Everything at the same time. The work is a video piece that is projected on three walls and has one soundtrack. The video shows women lined up in a black room where they sit and lie, forming an array of naked bodies. The sound track in the video, sung by the lips located in the women's crotches are national songs normally sung by male choirs but in the video it is sung by a female choir. The work speaks to the society's current discussion but it has a strong implication in the revolutions Me Too and Free the Nipple where women's consensus across backgrounds and looks was the key. The work is humorous and shows the impact of social media and how together women have the strongest voice.
