Label Text"Commute" is part of a series called "(In) Decent Exposure," in which Hebron uses her body as the medium, performing “nude in public or semi-public places, doing very banal, everyday things – things that are not sexy,” such as watering her lawn or driving. Through this series, Hebron critiques the way female-presenting bodies are seen as sexual objects, regardless of the task the body is performing. This photograph was taken outside of Hebron’s L.A. home by professional photographer Alex Aristei, who has photographed many of Micol's performances. Status
