About Non-Binary Pussy

Centering around the provocative yet elusive "non-binary pussy," the project is a revolutionary concert that fuses pop entertainment and political propaganda to produce an immersive experience and, ideally, a collective transformation.

Video Description Transcript: 

Our Vag

0:00

To whom it may concern, this is for you. 

Here: Anh Vo’s East Asian masculine body against a black screen. They’re wearing nude undies. They are looking to you. They have something they want you to do.

0:21

Please put your right hand over your heart. 

0:50

Now Anh is everywhere on the screen. Join the chorus of Anh’s. 

0:59

An enlarged portrait of Anh is coming towards you. Seize the means of your production. 

1:55

Here we are again: looking at Anh’s face with the communist flag. A patriotic pout against the waving red flag. Prepare your vag. 

2:06

March. 

2:15

Anh’s got a great ass. 

2:23

Bam.

2:47

This is glassrevolt. Cutting into static, glitches, and hacks. Get your guillotines and pussies ready. 

2:55

Some stock images.

2:58

A bloodied ass.

3:02

Lucky kitty cat. 

3:07

Anh.

3:09

We return to Anh’s body. Hear them speak. Admire their pussy. Listen. 

4:28

Glass shattering. Ho Chi Minh’s face with Anh’s mouth on his orifices like Azealia Banks. A farmer walking with a hoe. 

7:11

Here lies you. Among the other graves. We are transitioning to the title track, “Nonbinary Pussy.” The next section cuts between Anh performing live onstage and Anh virtually performing for you. In this private vignette, their body is against an Oriental styled floor. Keep your camera on so Anh can see you. You may sing along.

15:15

Here are some things: public and private shots, night time, a nearly nude body, erotic positions, amber lighting, a scythe, a Kate Bush reference, a hammer, a tongue licking, and Anh running down a street in an urban setting.

17:00

Some more things to touch upon: a crouching pose, legs wide open, caressing the body, feeling one’s ass, going into one’s self, and always wanting more. 

17:35
