By combining traditional mediums like painting and sculpture with modern design techniques, Don’t Pull My Strings invites viewers to participate in a playful journey through the complexities of gender and identity. By pulling strings and pushing buttons, the audience sets off a sequence of movements, resulting in an immersive experience that challenges the traditional passive role of the spectator.
Don’t Pull My Strings delves into gender and identity issues, examining how societal norms have created a binary view of gender. Luczak’s whimsical approach aims to highlight the absurdity of these constraints and prompt the viewer to consider alternative perspectives.
