Description

In this exploration of anxiety and power, Kahn climbs inside a giant penis costume to wander the streets of her L.A. neighborhood. These scenes are intercut with the artist performing a stand-up routine in the same outfit that tangentially reveals a resonant story from her own childhood. Combining a laughable image of phallic-power with the risk of humiliation and the roots of lifelong anxiety, arrogance and vulnerability, laughter and sadness revolve around a central orbit at the heart of which lies the nature of performance, both interior and exterior.
