'''Description of Artwork:''' ''Original Sin'' is a video installation that confronts the viewer with unidealized sexuality. Female anatomy, sexuality, and religious views of women are commented on in this piece. The title itself draws the comparison between the religious view of women and the unidealized female anatomy. The footage includes close-ups of a vagina, a hand job, masturbation with a dildo, and medical irrigation of the vagina. The film was screened inside a room saturated with an apple aroma. It starts with the artist herself eating an apple and ends with a woman in labor giving birth to a Barbie doll--alluding to modern day Poland. <P> | '''Description of Artwork:''' ''Original Sin'' is a video installation that confronts the viewer with unidealized sexuality.
