AuthorTania Ferrier ; Andre LipscombeDescriptionTania Ferrier’s new exhibition Pop Porn is a reverent acknowledgement of women’s experiences and an investigation into the representation of women in popular pornography of the 1980s. This City of Fremantle Art Collection exhibition presents a series of Ferrier’s new print works and short animated videos alongside a survey of her internationally renowned Angry Underwear project.
Continuing Ferrier’s decades-long feminist practice, the new body of digital prints use photo-montage processes to reassemble ‘taboo’ 1980’s Playboy centrefolds. Challenging misogynistic gender ideals and giving voice to feminine authority, Ferrier reimagines women’s bodies from passive, objectified figures into dynamic
surrealist forms.The new works featured in Pop Porn were developed while Ferrier was in residence at Fremantle Arts Centre
in 2020.
