Aklumda (part.2) - Aklumda (part.2/2), Aklumda (part.3/2) and Aklumda (part.4/2) are four art performances, where the artist Marcy Petit engages 'the woman inside her' to walk for two hours with a pair of high heel shoes and a costume in a difficult and opposed environment. This character, which embodies a supposed model of femininity, is being ridiculed by the situation. As she progresses in her walk, the character is confronted by an environment that she does not recognize and has to overcome the obstacles despite the ridicule she faces.
These videos performance have been created for a final installation combining the four videos together.
This performance is a continuation of the previous work named 'Aklumda', where the artist applied make-up to her face in public for one hour to the point of extreme saturation.
Based on the original idea of Betty Goeffroy
