​

For the Future Feminist: TIPS is a homonym. 

 

667 acrylic fingernails are digitally engraved with all 667 words from Mina Loy’s original 1914 text, Aphorisms on Futurism. Each tip is used to facilitate a performance between a mother and daughter, both biologically and historically. 

 

Full performance lasts 60 minutes, and projection is looped.​
