Faith Holland - Light petting (2013)

 
 
Light Petting and Heavy Petting are a video couplet about our bodily relation to images we see on the screen. The videos suggest a different relationship to the virtual image, one that is both affective and physical. Heavy Petting, in particular, complicates the viewer's relationship to pornographic images in multiple ways. There is an appropriation of heterosexual male-targeted porn for a female audience and rather than identify with the penis, the viewer relates with the woman's actions. But this identification is incomplete and instead a triadic relationship is formed between the couple on screen and the viewer in meatspace.
