ALTER EGOS: “LINGLING LOLITA”
Medium: Multi-media performance
Tools: Costume design, DaVinci Resolve, Resolume Arena, Abelton Live
New York City, USA, Spring 2023
Lingling Lolita is an alter ego I developed during my study abroad in New York City, and aims to answer the internal conflict I have of being proud of my femininity/sexuality and my body as an Asian women.
Lingling lolita is the visual and emotional embodiment of all the harmful of stereotypes that have been expected of Asian women. She plays into her infantilized, erotic, and hypersexual nature to give the audiences exactly what they want. In her interactive strip tease that includes dance, music, video, and poetry, she performs like the perfect ‘China doll’.
