Ginger Liu's "You're Practically A Man" to Showcase at DRKRM Gallery's "Last Picture Show 09: Year End Group Exhibition
Ginger Liu Photography at The Last Picture Show 09: Year End Group Exhibition. November 14th - Opening Reception - December 30th. Los Angeles. CA.
Los Angeles, CA, November 11, 2009 --(PR.com)-- “You’re Practically A Man” Digital Photography. C-type print By Ginger Liu.
""You're Practically A Man" is a personal essay about identity. The scars are from Abdominal Myomectomy, Uterine Fibroid Embolization (unseen) and Partial Hysterectomy, and represent the efforts I went through to try and keep my womb. I lost that fight to a fibroid the size of a six-month pregnancy. The fibroid weighed down on my bladder and I was lucky to get one hour of unbroken sleep at a time. I couldn’t go out anywhere because I constantly needed the bathroom. And once a month, during my period, I would bleed non-stop for two days and lose so much blood that I was too weak to stand. Hysterectomy was the final option.
The title of the essay refers to a woman’s comment made to me after I told her about my operations and represents the consequential view from some people that women are not whole unless they have children. A male friend of mine also commented that my hysterectomy was no big deal because I am a gay woman and gay women don't have children."
Ginger Liu is a graduate of London’s University of Westminster with a BA (Hons) in Contemporary Media Practice (Photography, Film, Multi-Media). Her work has been published in the UK and USA, and has appeared on MTV. She is a Hollywood based photographer, writer and publicist.
