I see the male gaze everywhere. It is in movies, photography, social media, books, advertisements, and clothing catalogs. I have experienced the discomfort that comes with being subjected to the male gaze more times than I can count. For me, I feel shocked, ashamed, vulnerable, and analyzed under the microscope of female objectification—a feeling I share with thousands of other women, but that nonetheless feels inherently lonely. My artwork deconstructs the male gaze through an experimental film that visually represents the emotions and sensations that come with being objectified, while using a nonsexual lens to view the female body. My film tells 50 women’s stories and shared experiences collected from recorded interviews. Each of the 50 women has a voice in the film, and their voices are pieced together to show a collective understanding of what it means to experience and overcome the male gaze. While I don’t believe it is possible for anyone to represent “the woman experience” because experience is dependent on culture, context, location, and a slew of other factors, I want to get as close as I can so women feel less isolated and men have a better understanding of the impacts of their conscious and subconscious actions.
