Janet Biggs: chamblee

07-08-2006 by

Chamblee presents three pair of high school wrestlers, locked in a dance of aggression. The sound track combines acid jazz with audio samples from Hollywood sports films. Prototypical coaches encourage and berate the athletes.
Chamblee examines constructions of gender enacted by adolescents who mimic and internalize expectations of masculinity engendered by sports.
