Deacon’s mock video cover is a tongue-in-cheek satire of American war or mercenary-type action films that explores the positioning and objectification of the blak female body in photography and film. The term ‘blak’, coined by Deacon in 1991, is an attempt to reclaim colonial language by creating a means of self-determination and self-expression. |
