Mrs. George Gilbert a/k/a Mrs. George Gilbert extends Coco Fusco’s in- depth
examination of racialized imagery. Autobituary: In 1969 on several occasions in Cape Town, South Africa I sat motionless for several hours with parts of my body painted black, on a public park bench officially marked Whites Only (Net Blankes). I was always threatened, taken in for questioning and moved on by the police. As part of a new work Autobituary, I recently repeated this action in parks in Hull and London. Strangely, the sense of surveillance and suppression was still palpable though utterly different. Originally, I felt overt, strong, angry, scared. Now, I felt covert and anxious.
