Jessica Borusky's The Posture Grid! is an exploration of personal/performed/projected identity through the construction of persona. With humor and endurance, this durational performance for video unpacks advertising language to explore how products designed to "help" us instead often reinforce the pursuit of a rigid, unrealistic "ideal."
