about

Essay on how posing makes us feel amid the tension of social expectations.

{ inspired by "The Halberdier" by Ferdinand Hodler }

lyrics

Try something for me. Stand with your left hand on your hip. Stick that hip out, far, so far that your right heel comes off the ground. How does this feel to you? Bold? Provocative? Perhaps dainty?

Would you feel any different if you were carrying a giant axe in your right hand? Also it’s 1895. I don’t know how that affects things for you.

Sometimes when I’m at the grocery store, and I’m using one of those hand-baskets (you know?), I might need both hands free to wrap some produce or something. My instinct is to hold the basket handle with my arm, in the crook of my elbow, but then I pause. Is a man supposed to carry a basket that way? Does that motion make a statement about gender politics, and is that something I want out of my grocery trip?

How often do artists use poses to make statements?
