Julia Scher Guards, 2004
Performance
Julia Scher’s performance has a pair of older women dressed in her signature pink hybrid security guard uniforms roam a space and interact with visitors. Juxtaposing the invisibility of older women in society and the visibility afforded to security personnel, while drawing on the color pink’s playful and a uniform’s menacing connotations, Scher’s work combines an analysis of control mechanisms with feminist critique.
