Commodity Fetishism
Catrine Val
Commodity Fetishism moves seamlessly between the realms of fashion and performance and criticism and comedy. Throughout this video, Catrine Val repeatedly transforms herself by means of hastily cobbled-together yet awesome disguises. Construction is the key element of this work.
