Multiple Snow Whites as Perfomance Art
Thursday, October 12th, 2006
The artist, Catherine Bay, outfits performers in latex recreations of the famous Disney ensemble, and then they go about their business reciting a script that includes the lines:
My place in society does not allow me
to play Russian roulette,
to open a casino,
to carry on a sexual relationship with Bill Clinton,
to dress myself out of a fashion magazine,
to wear sneakers Made in China.
Whatever. I just adore the crude English translation of the French explanation: “The multiplied image of White Snow evokes the fall of marvellous in the industry of Disney, its effigy hung up again with our banality…”
There’s video here.
