THE FAME - MONSTER
When thinking about Popular Media, the first idea that comes into my mind are singers and artists. The spotlight. The stage. How they seem to be surrounded by this light and how they glamour us into this frenzy creatures. I am genuinely inspired and intrigued by Lady Gaga. I believe her randomness is part of what makes her success just as much as my randomness and quirkiness makes my own success.
For this piece I decided to "disintegrate" the image into the iconic pieces, becuase that's what we remember about them and what makes them popular icons. For me, being an artist is trading off your "realness" for something much more easily readable, like downgrading pictures from a high quality with all those little tiny details, into easy to be read pixels. I wanted to recreate the iconic look with cheap easy materials on my dispositions, such as my own clothing, in a way also meaning that I have the elements to become "Gaga".
