Lollipop Portraits

The LolliPop Portraits  are a series of 12 video portraits of women from the ages of 4 to 84, each consuming a lollipop in their own idiosyncratic way: some wistfully savouring the intense flavour for three quarters of an hour, some crunching down to the lollipop stick in under two minutes. Having been left alone with only the camera and their lollipops, the portraits’ subjects strip away layers of preconcieved sexual metaphor and self-conscious performance to reveal moments of breathtakingly beautiful introspection.

Visitors to the show have the opportunity to choose a lollipop and sit down in front of a live video camera to perform their own real-time lollipop portrait.
