Sniff Movie is a pun on the snuff movie genre which is a tongue in cheek homage to the genre and to the fetishisation of the human body…

Julie Rrap has long been interested in the position occupied by the human figure, and the female nude in particular, in the history of European art and popular culture. It is a theme she has approached from many directions, always using her own body as subject. She is her own victim. Rrap has been reconfiguring and interrupting the feminine voice since the 1970’s.
