Alex Bag Untitled Fall 95 (1995)

In Untitled Fall 95, Bag, at the time an art student, plays Bag the art student. In a series of deadpan performances, Bag gathers fragments of pop detritus, fashioning a thoroughly mediated document that is at once a celebration and a record of loss. With the narrative inevitability of a TV serial, the eight diaristic segments trace a woman s struggle to make sense of her experience at art school. As each installment marks the start of a new semester, Bag s character addresses the camera with her latest observations and frustrations.
