Abigail Child
Abigail Child's work investigates pop cultural constructions of gender identity, sexuality, and voyeurism, while employing soundtracks layered with canned music, suggestive noises, and dialogue. Through rapid collages of image fragments from industrial, rare, and early films and newsreels, Child constructs experimental narratives while drawing attention to conventional devices such as costumes, looks, poses, and gestures used to build narrative continuity and excitement.
