Custom Trailer Series: Austin Powers

Overview

Exploring écriture feminine and women’s structural narratives, the Custom Trailer Series reimagines Hollywood films through the structure of a traditional quilt pattern. Here, Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me has been recut to construct a starburst quilt, and then scanned as a film. The work exists both as a material object (the quilt) and the visual representation (the film), drawing attention to the materiality of the filmstrip and the patriarchal biases still present in commercial cinema.
