PG: Power Generator

​2014, HD video, alternate stereo soundtracks, 5:46 loop

PG: Power Generator sees an eleven-year-old girl execute the choreography of a rodeo hostess on top of a windmill. By re-performing the moves in an alternate context and with an altered energy, this young woman is generating her own power.

PG: Power Generator is part of a suite of works plotting and re-staging the gestural vocabulary of hostesses across a range of genres, periods and cultures.

It can be also presented as a 2-channel installation with interactive hula hoop.
