Modestycore | A Bimbo Oil Heiresses story
“Modestycore” is a video performance art piece that explores the politics of sensuality, purity, shame, and self-preservation. It doesn’t work to prove or disprove the values of modesty, it explores the in-between space between revealing and concealing. The video follows Zoenie, a headless woman who is the heiress of a fracking empire, but all she wants to do is talk about cute clothes and makeup. We follow her as she pontificates about her obsession with sexiness and aesthetics. Things become more complicated when we are introduced to her occult object that hosts the soul of ‘“Deadman”, performed by Youtuber DeadManAnimations. Deadman teaches her about code-switching and cloaking through what appears to be snippets of conversations from the trapped man’s life. He touches on topics such as the survival technique of code-switching under settler colonialism and global capitalism. Through these conversations, her ideas about cloaking in and out of modesty are recontextualized.
