Paris Model uses a combination of 16mm found footage and experimental film manipulation techniques to create a macabre and haunting image, asking the audience to contemplate mortality and the temporality of the flesh. The ghostly figure of the model fades in and out of recognition, skin bubbling and dissipating, adding a disturbing yet exciting element to the striptease being performed for the viewer. In addition, the film also seeks to distort and disrupt the viewer’s gaze of feminine bodies and asks the viewer to consider the way in which they view and support sexual autonomy.
