About the work…
“Coffee and Cigarettes for Breakfast because the Magazine told me to” focuses on the commodification of femininity and the ways in which capitalism creates problems so that it can in turn sell us the solutions and profit from insecurities. The piece explores the complex and ever-evolving realm of gender performance in society. Femininity, a construct deeply embedded in our cultural fabric, has played a significant role in defining and limiting the lives of individuals across time and space. In the video an iguana peels back the layers of this construct, exposing the illusions and inviting viewers to question the limitations it imposes on personal freedom, expression, and empowerment.
