Alex Bag's video

I have got to say that it was a little disturbing. The idea of doing a documentary about her life in school is very original. As time goes along, it is visible how she has evolved in the art world. But at the same time, her evolution has turned to something psychotic. Something interesting is how she plays different roles, much like Cindy Sherman. She makes an interesting point in how everything is about her but not about her. The feeling of smothered can arise from anything, and as one closes more and more to the end of their school year, things begin to build up. But in the sense that she was talking, it becomes something not to be spoken of about sexuality in ways that other people should not be interested in knowing.

  1. Alex Bag did not go to SVA- she made this while in school as a performance of an art student. Does that change how you think about it?
