This piece was an homage to both VALIE EXPORT’S Touch Cinema (1968) and the character of Sandy from the iconic film Grease (1978). Sporting a box-like, wearable cinema contraption, skin-tight pleather leggings and a curly blonde wig I pranced around to “You Better Shape Up“. In the best Australian accent I could muster, I invited the audience to “feel their way” inside the box where they experienced a hairy surprise.
