Response to Videos

Carolee Schneeman - Meat Joy Response:

The entire color scheme of the oranges really adds to the idea of meat and flesh, the way it eerily glows in that particular shade of orange under that light. Schneeman sexualizes and fetishes the idea of lust and meat. It's obviously a strong feminist piece by it's tone and imagery. The voice over overlaps between English and French, causing the viewer to have to concentrate on their known language. The cheesy music in the background and the smiles of the participants give the movie a happy-go-lucky feel while the underlying meaning is quite sinister, obvious in the way that dead chickens and fish are thrown on the participants.
