Gráinne Blumenthal’s life changed when she, completely by chance, discovered non-consensual photographs of her body on foot fetish website WikiFeet. They were cutouts and crops of the varying non-sexual, inoffensive images she had uploaded of herself on social media platforms throughout the years; one getting ice cream with friends; another a trip to the beach.
The photos uploaded leant into sexuality in a way that Blumenthal never intended them to; a bright sunny day with friends or an evening rehearsal quickly flipped into commodified, fetishised content. That is the basis of her one-woman show Feet Pics Aren’t Free, – the very topical issue of image-based sexual abuse .
Blumenthal enters stage right and immediately strips to underwear and five pairs of socks. For 60 minutes, she, with the help of a projector, details the myriad emotions she felt when images of her body were stolen. She mentions the blistering lows and regular panic she feels based around the thought that someone, somewhere, could be following her every move.She also pokes fun at the situation, ripping off socks to reveal another and singing show tunes to the hilt of absurdity.
