FAT

2003, 17:10 min, color, sound

Hodel continues her ongoing series of video explorations into notions of beauty, gender, and desire. FAT attacks the issue of weight obsession by taking it to absurdist extremes: Hodel applies massive quantities of lard to her own seated, naked body, sculpting a grotesquely beautiful monument to our cultural fixations.
