Vag-tagging on the Southbank
Producer/Director/Editor Che Grant
Camera/Sound Krysten Resnick
This 3D graffiti vagina was made on the Southbank during the London Gay Pride parade 7th July 2012. Emma Buggy worked over six hours to sculpt this voluptuous vulva whilst parading youngsters, skateboarders, fellow graffiti artists and the general public interjected their questions and opinions, creating a plethora of colorful, passionate and inquisitive conversations around the making of the piece. Filmmaker Che Grant filmed the process and interviewed the public for his short documentary film (The I In Vagina) about Emma's work. These short clips have been extracted as a quick glimpse into the making and thinking behind the piece on the Southbank.
