MY VEIWINGS

Looking at the influence of fame!

The first artist that springs to mind that was heavily influenced by fame and the ideology of it; was Andy Warhol. It seemed he realised from the very beginning that it didn't take a lot to have someone's attention and once having it they were also easily manipulated. Warhol, most famously known for 'The Factory' where artists, drug users and Warhol fans resided to help him create his silk-screens and films.

Everything Andy Warhol did was a performance. I need to create someone I can play non-stop and virtually become for the duration of this project.

A recent artist that has claimed to be a big fan of his is none other than Lada Gaga.
This video shows how alike the two are, both obsessed with famous people like they're not real more like 'plastic'.

  


I need an Alter-Ego.
