A tiled video influenced by The Brady Bunch intro, featuring a brightly colored avatar lip-syncing to found audio of clips from The Real Housewives franchise which builds to a jarring end by critiquing the enduring housewife archetype across television history.
​
Pussy Galore reimagines the iconic grid-format opening of The Brady Bunch, starring a repeated hyper-feminine avatar, each performing to found audio pulled from The Real Housewives reality television moments. The fragmented performances layer humor and stylized femininity, drawing parallels between the idealized housewife of mid-century television and the artificial performance of reality television. The video concludes abruptly with the avatar slamming her head on the table, shattering the polished facade. By collapsing two eras of televised domesticity into one fractured, looping frame, Pussy Galore critiques the housewife archetype as a scripted role, whether in sitcom suburbia or the spectacle of reality television.
