Bloodsports for Girls
A lone woman (the artist herself) is followed on three dreamlike journeys where she discovers her sexuality and samples the forbidden fruit of Dr. Freud. The woman lives in a sumptuous and surreal world where her erotic dreams are populated by snails, tadpoles, custard and her ever present scissors. She gardens in suburbia with the slimy hermaphrodites, walks to the wedding march, floats like Ophelia with the swarming tadpoles, collects fantastic toadstools, performs surgery on her rapidly growing and phallic hair and finally sinks blissfully into a bath of steaming custard.
The film, with lascivious tongue in cheek, uses Freudian symbols to confront ideals of female sexuality and break taboos by mixing the forbidden with luscious sensual pleasure. This woman takes her pleasure without the aid of a human partner of any gender.
