Unschuld ist - Video Self Portraits
Camera, Edit and Performer Alexandra Jasper © London 2009
The video questions the notion of women's blood- in relation to original sin in the Christian discourse.
It's an ancient understanding that women bleed (menstruate) because they suffer from the curse of Eve.
Sacrificial love, accepting suffering and divine flesh are all qualities Christianity idealized in Jesus 'who died for our sins' as much as these are qualities idealized in women.
