Loupée à la mouche, 2003 DVD Projection |
Mary Sue is not
a pure video product, but rather the fruit of a hybrid, artisanal
practice, driven by the desire for a perfect, all-encompassing artifice.
In fact, Mary Sue herself, and the artist who has adopted her name.
She is a metonym for the contrivance of her video constructions. is
consistently at the center of this process, at the warm convergence
of high- or low-angle viewpoints, reflecting her relationship to the
world and the steamy responses that she knowingly arouses through
a theatrical naïveté. By definition, the viewer, indeed
the whole world, is outside the frame. Her solitude in the face of
the world is that of all domestic stars: she has little adventures,
accomplishes small feats, and experiences tiny moments of illumination.
Whatever the scenario, Mary Sue always seems to be pulling your leg,
then hitting you below the belt. By placing herself in the spotlight,
she eliminates the ambiguity of the distanced gaze, becoming the object
of her own irony. Her perspective is more acerbic than critical. Rather
than condemning things, she merely holds them up to view. Mary Sue's
work is fresh and ironic, a game within the game.
Mary Sue is born between 1979 and today. |
