Your Reality TV Show
A Feminist Series, Spring 2025
Yasmin Akbay
Your Reality TV Show is a 2025 series focused on depicting the everyday struggles of women today in regards to objectification, fetishisation and the inability to escape the dreaded “male gaze” - a term coined by British film theorist Laura Mulvey in her 1975 essay: Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema. This term refers to the ways in which women are portrayed by, most commonly, heterosexual males in film and media, as objects of sexual desire and little else.
This series is a hyper-realistic, “hyper-feminine” visual commentary of our experiences, living in constant surveillance from men, and the pressure put on us to conform to modern beauty standards.
