Inspired by nostalgia for early 20th-century freak shows, SIDESHOW OF THE ABSURD is a cinematic exploration of a fantastical exhibition by artist Pamela Joseph. The female, in particular, is provocatively presented as multi-faceted curiosity: idolized mother/lover, vilified sexual predator/prey, and giver/recipient of pleasure and pain. These seemingly incongruous roles are embraced with irreverence, humor and respect for the dignity of ‘the other’, regardless of gender. |
