Ladies, There is a Space You Can’t Go

Laura Parnes

1995 | 00:05:50 | United States | English | Color | Stereo | 4:3 | Video

Collection: Single Titles

Tags: Feminism, Found Footage, Television, Youth/Childhood

Screened in the 1997 Whitney Biennial, the video Ladies, There's a Space You Can't Go is both a deconstruction and a distortion of an episode of Sally Jesse Raphael titled My Daughter Dresses Like A Hooker. Sampled audience statements and a driving dance beat merge with distorted talk show participants to form a self-mutilating music video. The daughters "exhibited" walk through the audience as if it were a runway. These mutated models perform for a disturbed mob of angry woman who relentlessly attack with threats of rape and diets.

This title is also available on the compilation Real Life MTV.
