MEAT JOY: Film - 16mm color, sound, 12 minute version edited by Bob Giorgio. 1964
Meat Joy is an erotic rite -- excessive, indulgent, a celebration of flesh as material: raw fish, chickens, sausages, wet paint, transparent plastic, ropes, brushes, paper scrap.
The original performances became notorious and introduced a vision of the sacred erotic in a suppressive time.
thinking about the 60's and finally the freedom to exlpore and be introduced to sex, drugs and rock n' roll, peoples secretive lives are intimately exposed and explored through this installation. This voyeuristic approach leads the viewer into an uncomfortable relationship with the screen, audio and visuals.
I couldn't look away.
