LYDIA MCCAIG
Lydia McCaig (1997), graduated Lancaster University 2019.
​
Lydia McCaig’s practice is multidisciplinary, exploring the interplay between female sexuality/feminism, seduction/male gaze and erotica/objectification. She navigates these topics, primarily through performative photographic works, audio, video, installation and narrative texts.
McCaig locates her own body as a site from which to make performative gestures that propose the personal as political, the unsaid as universal and desire in all its forms as an imagined space we occasionally share.
