"BASED ON A TRUE STORY"

“Cécile Emmanuelle Borra’s scopophilic gaze is one that falls on an increasingly commodified male body, or rather her pointed attention to the male body's most obvious defining feature is decidedly aware of the mechanics of its commercialisation. The fragmentation and objectification of male genitalia echoes the often crass and canivalesque representations of the female body in fashion and advertising; a kind of libidinous choreography of colourful assemblages, anthropomorphic 'cute-ifying', magazine cut-outs and trophy paraphernalias, which Borra brings together with a knowing yet pleasure-giving critique.”
