Gran Tour (2025) - Jo Fetto

Jofetto

The odalisque has long stood as a symbol of colonial fantasy—an exoticized body posed for the pleasure of the Western gaze. Historically stripped of agency, the odalisque is staged, adorned, and made visible only through someone else’s desire.

Yet what happens when that gaze is acknowledged? When the subject of the fantasy learns to perform it back—on their own terms?

In Jo Fetto’s Scugnizzi Experience, the odalisque is not simply a victim of the gaze, but a figure forged by it—aware of its violence, yet skilled in its choreography.Rather than resisting the fantasy, they inhabit it knowingly, bending it to their own ends.

There is pleasure in being seen, even when that gaze is shaped by a long, problematic history of domination and exploitation. And there is power in performing a role inherited from that same history—especially when the performance becomes a tool of subversion.
