Deepthroat voluntarily yet with force, silences masculine stance.
The performance consists of a continuous gagging of a bootleg Ken doll that hints a cannibalistic image of a child-like mannerism. Simultaneously, it also mimes homo-eroticism that is often climaxed by the looping tracks of gay porn audio- which in themselves can be ambiguous. Presented responding a semi-constructed site filled with bricks, dust and leftover building materials, the piece is accompanied by a flesh-like aroma from the fresh bananas distributed around the space as playful objects. The performance-installation is inspired by Hajime Isayama's 2009 manga titled 進撃の巨人 about man-eating titans and also the mythological creature's excessively masculine portrayals in virtual RPG narratives like Square Enix's Final Fantasy series, among many.
