miss july




I just found out about this show Miranda July (one of my fav author) made about her works, Eleven Heavy Things, at the Venice Biennale. It is eleven outdoor sculptures for people to pose with — pedestals to stand on, tablets with holes for body parts, and free-standing headdresses. So... to be able for the work to be completed, the visitors have to take photographs with various poses on around the sculptures. Pieces like, “What I look like when I really mean it”, “What I look like when I’m lying” or “We don’t know each other. We’re just hugging for the picture. When we’re done I’ll walk away quickly. It’s almost over”. Ugh.. i wish i could be there!
i also found this sweet video on her web! this girl is amazing!
