Sinopsis(1)
Celebrated artist Barbara Kruger uses the visual language of advertising to critique the very messages it emulates. Her work asks viewers to closely consider how global issues like consumerism and gender discrimination play a powerful role in their daily lives. “Something to really think about is what makes us who we are in the world that we live in,” says the artist. “And how culture constructs and contains us.” This documentary short traces Barbara’s 40+ year career from her start as a designer at Condé Nast to a recent outdoor public art project in a Lower East Side, Manhattan skatepark.
