Herfigger poster

RISD Videoart Series, 1998
Screenprint, 12 x 18 in.

The image on this poster for a screening of videos by two feminist artists is derived from photocopying a full-spread magazine advertisement. The ad is for men's underwear, but the magazine's gutter, falling centrally upon the model, renders his sexual identity ambiguous. The poster's title is a pun upon the underwear designer's name and the phrase "her figure."
