Female (♀) is the sex of an organism, or a part of an organism, which produces non-mobile ova (egg cells).
The ova are defined as the larger gametes in a heterogamous reproduction system, while the smaller, usually motile gamete, the spermatozoon, is produced by the male. A female individual cannot reproduce sexually without access to the gametes of a male (an exception is parthenogenesis). Some organisms can reproduce both sexually and asexually.
There is no single genetic mechanism behind sex differences in different species and the existence of two sexes seems to have evolved multiple times independently in different evolutionary lineages[citation needed]. Patterns of sexual reproduction include
Other than the defining difference in the type of gamete produced, differences between males and females in one lineage cannot always be predicted by differences in another. The concept is not limited to animals; egg cells are produced by chytrids, diatoms, water moulds and land plants, among others. In land plants, female and male designate not only the egg- and sperm-producing organisms and structures, but also the structures of the sporophytes that give rise to male and female plants.
Vanessa Beecroft (born April 25, 1969) is an Italian contemporary artist living in Los Angeles.
Vanessa Beecroft's work is a fusion of conceptual issues and aesthetic concerns, focusing on large-scale performance art, usually involving live female models (often nude). At her performances, video recordings and photographs are made, to be exhibited as documentation of the performances, but also as separate works of art. The work and her conceptual approach is neither performance nor documentary, but something in between, and closer to Renaissance painting. She sets up a structure for the participants in her live events to create their own ephemeral composition. The performances are existential encounters between models and audience, their shame and their expectations. Each performance is made for a specific location and often references the political, historical, or social associations of the place where it is held. Beecroft’s work is deceptively simple in its execution, provoking questions around identity politics and voyeurism in the complex relationship between viewer, model and context.
Plot
In WISH, the tension between the male and the female can be interpreted as sexual, the forming of a bond, a celebration. A hope for the future, as the title suggests, WISH, may also imply, a longing for a new beginning, a re-birth, or perhaps, even a birth, which would all insinuate continuity in the cycle of life. The materials used inside the colliding vessels, the automobiles, are; milk, butter, flour, eggs, chocolate frosting, candles, and cake sprinkles.
Plot
Humanity and nature are lovers united in death. A woman is learning to rebuild her life and fill the absence of a lover who has passed away a year ago. Time has frozen in his leave. She lives in a greenhouse and develops a ritual of nurturing plants as a means of filling his absence. She begins a psychological journey into the natural world where time and space blur.
Plot
Everything After Is Measured By Now explores an ambiguous line between the present and the possible future in order to reflect on contemporary society's relation to collapse. Eschewing straightforward narrative, the film follows separate narrative threads that revolve around this ambiguity in an attempt to question whether societal collapse is a possible event in the near future, or an event society is already situated within.
Plot
If the make up of our world consisted exclusively of creatures and monsters, what would constitute the criteria to be featured in a carnival freak show? Two such individuals escape this fate and struggle together to relate to one another, nourish each other and survive. Universal themes of attachment, love and sacrifice are explored in this 9-minute experimental film.
The moon pushed the sun down the spiral-staircase of time
Bright neck broken, twisted beyond repair
So now there's only darkness standing there
Arms outstretched
Predatory parasite
Vacant light
From the tunnel of night.
It's colder here since the war, all colours took on a shade of grey
The streams have run slower since you went away
Even the summer is slouching now
Sun not waxing, but waning - walking disappointedly away
Moon with no hope of saving the day
It's time I remembered that I have forgotten
Rainy season beyond sense and reason
Endless sheets of glass
Streets awash with horror
Bullets in the back of summer
Filthy water everywhere
Not saved by incantations
Summer sun always gone
Left my smile all alone back there
Forced to simply sit and stare
At nothing
Nothing
Summer's always gone
Temperance overrule
Temper under ruled
Time - Oh, she's short
Wait - Oh, she's long
Where she went I'll never know
All I know
Is she's gone
I dream of favorite color fantasy
I see your body standing over me
You approach your finger... across my lips
I need you inside of me, inside of me
Pre Chorus:
I lose control and our world... a lot
I wish comes over me and I get lost in time
So hooked on you daddy... gets me hot
Can't stop now I'm falling out just give ti to me
Chorus:
Say oh by let myself go whatever, whatever,
Just give it all to me
Get me hot I just can't say your whatever, however
Just give it all to me.
This fake to em is searching for your touched
Unleashed and now I just can't get enough
Don't tease unless you can't back ti up
Let's go, don't make me mad I want it that
Pre Chorus:
I lose control and our world... a lot
I wish comes over me and I get lost in time
So hooked on you daddy... gets me hot
Can't stop now I'm falling out just give ti to me
2 x Chorus:
Say oh by let myself go whatever, whatever,
Just give it all to me
Get me hot I just can't say your whatever, however
Just give it all to me.
I'm the proud, you're the prayer
Help me down, play the game
Point the gun, take your aim
I'm gonna get you, I'm gonna get you
