[23][24][25] Marquise sat without movement or emotion forcing the audience or participant to consider whether using a doll for sexual pleasure commodifies sex more or less immorally than using a real body for amenities that can be monetarily quantified, such as energy; the charging of a mobile phone.
The aim of this exchange is to challenge the audience, asking them to question how the social presentation of sexuality may be affecting their seemingly inherent moral standing.
The participant is also forced to reflect on the ability of their desire to become a need, how great their need for energy can become at times of impending technological dissonance (such as a dying mobile phone), and how it can eclipse the social ethics instilled in them.
As an actor, Marquise has owned and operated a number of artistic adult oriented content where she worked as director, producer, editor, and actor, Marquise set off to produce her own work, posting it under her new production company, including the infamous “Solo Ritual 1 (2011)” screened at the NYC Adult Film Festival in early 2015 alongside artists such as Zefrey Throwell, Narcissister, Richard Kern, and Miley Cyrus, and James Franco.
Maintaining a postmodernist approach to her work, Marquise recently released a new collection of prints she has created using text overlays paired with film stills she has produced, directed and acted in.
