Baby Face
by Katy Dye
Hey Baby! Welcome to a world of knee socks, bunches, lollypops, bubble gum and models adopting the childlike expressions of six year old girls. A daring exploration into the paradox of living in a society that continues to infantilise women. Paedophilia is not ok yet fetishised images of women as pre-pubescent girls are. In this brave and outlandish performance a grown woman attempts to be your baby to discover if innocence really is as sexy as we’re told it is.
Words of Katy Dye
Katy and I had worked together on images and trailers for developments of this show for years, but it was finally ready for a Fringe run in August 2018 where we used this image for these designs and the trailer.
I also filmed documentation of the performance, which went down great at the Fringe. This meant we could make a new video trailer for the tour with live footage and bits of the good reviews the show got.
