Life in times of mobility requires that one eats hasty going on the road, that one has its water bottle, its coffee cup thereby, that one carries the most necessary with itself, its data in the notebook, the role suit-case pulled behind. Female means of transport for the most important little things has always bee the handbag. Also sextools for spontaneous self-supply can be transported therein.
Susanne Klein builds units from tool and bag. Women that want to amuse oneself can use their bag at any time. The cunt-objects are related to the handbags, but also to toys of lonely men or such, who interest in a woman is only the sex part. For Susanne Klein the cunt belongs to the woman. She carries it like a shoulder bag and can, if necessary – sexual intercourse is to take place, she wants however no direct contact – attach it in front. On the other hand the cunt can also be understood as a signal for desired sex. A meaning clarifying is recommended before put it into practice.
Both, the handbags and the cunt-objects can on the first look be confounded with normal fashion accessories. Klein refers ironically to the female need after romantically coating crude sexuality.
