From political protest to diary like film entries, the work of Kika Thorne maintains a style of casual documentation. With the merging of public and private spheres, Thorne plays between the extremes of dominace and submission: 'repellence and acceptance'. Her early work centering on power and gender roles has evolved toward an exploration of "state power, race, and the bisexual kingdom". She draws attention to the presence of the filmmaker through the act of framing. These duel representation of scenes draw our attention to its context and stresses the content in what is represented.
