Sophy Rickett

Rickett is a london-based photographer who, in 1995, composed a series of work comprising self-portraits of the artist pissing in public places. I think visually, it's really powerful and (obviously) calls to question traditional gender roles and that jazz, which is interesting because women aren't all that oppressed anymore....or maybe I've just seen so much one-liner feminist art..anyway, the piece made me think and that's why I'm sharing it. Also, this artist has balls (pun).





(I'm not sure exactly how this angle is produced...)

  1. I really like this artist haha! I'm also intrigued on how the pee shot angle is produced, but I like how it's in the same angle as if a man was peeing. Very unexpected.
