Male Pedestrian

Many women I've spoke with have received unwanted attention while walking in public. Objectifying remarks and surveillance are common experiences. This installation explores the technique of using role reversal to provide the viewer with a new perspective on the issue. The woman from Female Sign has been replaced with a male who is receiving unwanted attention from stronger more aggressive sub-characters. How does the viewer feel about men who appear vulnerable and fiscally objectified?
