Hot Air is a one-woman, all-boy band. No amps, no guitars, no breasts, no ovaries, just explosive silence. Stripped down and ready to rock, Hot Air is one woman with no girl parts and all the bravado of an entire boy band! She moves to the beat of Queen, “Keep Yourself Alive,” by giving everything she has to breathe life into Hot Air.

This video premiered at the HYSTERIA DELUXE exhibition at Angles Gallery in Los Angeles in 2006 and will be screened in Tucson at Her Shorts Women’s International Video Festival 2007 in conjunction with PerformIT 2007 fine arts performance festival.

Hot Air won “Award of the Festival” at the International Experimental Film and Video Festival in Egilsstadir, Iceland in 2007.
