Project Description

TITEL : “DIE GEILE RUBIN”
I painted a life-size figurative oil painting titled “DIE GEILE RUBIN,” and also created a gif animation, which portrays a woman reclining on a divan in a pose that engages with the semiotics of heterosexual titillation. She presents her “best parts,” evoking the visual language of the male gaze and its framing of femininity as desirable and seemingly “coitable”.
However, the painting does not outright reject seduction or the performance of femininity within this framework. Instead, it embraces a nuanced exploration of these dynamics, critically engaging with the power and complexity of performative femininity.
The title, “DIE GEILE RUBIN,” carries a linguistic twist: in German, “geil” translates to “horny” and is phonetically similar to “Gayle,” used here as a first name. By incorporating “Rubin” as a surname, the title playfully references Gayle Rubin’s groundbreaking work on gender, sexuality, and cultural stereotypes. Through this interplay of language and imagery, the painting not only critiques but also reimagines the tropes of seduction, offering a layered commentary on desire, gender, and representation.
