Vanessa Beecroft

     Vanessa was born in 1969 in Genoa, Italy.  He art is a unique fusion of conceptual issues consisting primarily of recorded photographed events. Her subjects stand still, usually finding unity, among multiple subjects by wearing the same colored outfits, shoes, wigs, makeup, or color of skin. Her events and or performances mostly represent the female body; sometimes a woman is clothed and many times she is nude. What I read also stated that she uses the locations historical events as a backdrop but injects her personal view /  message in her displayed events. Thus, provoking her political angle arranged in a historical context.  What is she saying with her art? What I see is a woman taking on many roles in her life. Women strive to accomplish varying roles in society. Maybe my point of view is completely wrong. Nonetheless, her events are created before an audiences eyes and the characters/ performers usually stand motionless. So, in a sense her events appear like a painting being recreated before the audiences eyes. Some imagery is strange or confusing others are beautiful and symbolic.
