| Prior to the exhibition, some girls came and share their thoughts during the day. |
Some comments during and after the presentation
"How come girls toilet is so illicit? How can you guys write on the wall? .... oh wait, oh! it's on paper!"
"An intimidation in the female restroom"
"Is the audio recorded from real life!?"
"This is so feminist."
"Not very often, maybe the only one chance, I can enter girl's bathroom"
Evaluation
The main objective and goal for my installation was to allow male audience to come and experience in a forbidden and unfamiliar area. The site that I chose suits best to the purpose. Girls bathroom is a space for a very private actions, girls sometimes come and socialized or gossip in here, so with this context, I decided to portray girl's thoughts into graffiti form, which is realistic and straight forward.
I think my work is pretty successful in terms of drawing attentions to my target audience and arousing erotic sense. The site itself has already contained the eroticism because of the privacy between genders.
When I invited boys to come in, also before and after the presentation, some hesitated to do so, some are excited and want to find out how it looks like. After they read the messages on walls, I could see some smiles, but with the eyes of thinking and reflecting on themselves and on society.
Some texts are rude, some are thought provoking, and it reflects teenage girls thoughts in their daily life. With the contrast to the sweet words outside of the stall, it gives more impact and more shame of how boys usually hear sweet things, but there are also darker thoughts inside as well.
