“Disgust evolved in humans as a response to pathogenic diseases. Barring the presence of disease-bearing pathogens and bacteria, disgust has come to be applied to systems of injustice from the bottom-up and lobbed towards lower castes and classes from the top-down. Genevieve Belleveau is a relational artist whose work encompasses live performance, objects, writing, video, photo, and new media. Her video “POV: You Disgust Me” is content for Belleveau’s pro-dom vocation and draws on several popular genres of femdom clip porn. Gooning, POV, hypnosis and verbal humiliation are all employed here in synthesis with her dom persona Master Gardener’s care-centered, anti-authoritarian approach to professional domination.
In this paradigm, hierarchies are abolished which creates taboo around the omniscient Scientist roleplay performed here. One might think of it as a type of homeopathic healing to play in power dynamics one ultimately wishes to eradicate. Positions of power shift throughout the scene from the soil-sub holding power through the disgust it can elicit to not being worth the Scientists time as she ultimately seeks to eradicate organic, emotional and unpredictable disgust from her ordered objectivity. Belleveau’s work often highlights the more nuanced emotional mainstays of BDSM play that can be illegible to those who first encounter the gothic or dungeon-like aesthetics of the lifestyle.”
