Sub Rosa (USA): Vulva De/Re constructa (artists/producers: Faith Wilding, Christina Nguyen Hung, video, 2000, 9’19”)
Which depictions of female genitals are not pornographic? A documentary video about the aesthetics of female genital surgery, reconstruction of both labia minora and majora - and the reasons why women decide to alter their genitals. While the commonly held opinion is that especially elderly women decide to either reduce or lift their labia in order to feel better about their appearance, the video presents the case of a woman who decides to enlarge her labia minora because she, on the contrary, believes that this procedure will make her feel more feminine.
