That's the new Lady Gaga video. I really like it because of the anti-hegemonic structure. Lady Gaga represents a very male version of herself and the soldiers around her seem female.
I think it's really interesting and challenges the audience. I would like to do something similar in my piece next year.
It could be an advertisement for a female right organization. I could connect the film by Adam Berg and this video. At the beginning two persons could stand still and you could see the female characteristics of the boy/men and the male side of the women/girl. The music starts and everything begins to move, then the audience can see many different, anti-hegemonic situations with male girls and female boys. In the end there could be a sentence like "Could you live in a world like this?".
some good points made here about the 'telephone' video. quite complex gender theory, but def worth a look.
