Liat Berdugo + Emily Martinez as Five Twins
Video, runtime 05:43, 2016.
In collaboration with Emily Martinez as Anxious to Make.
Description
How is one to understand technology by investigating its economies? The video, Liat Berdugo + Emily Martinez as Five Twins, is an ongoing commission of fake twins sourced from Fiverr.com who double themselves in post-production. In outsourcing identities to laborers in this economy, this work examines the kinds of subjectivities produced by the sharing economy, and how these ideas relate to a subject re/produced in vulnerability, self-appreciation and self-esteem – qualities that underlie the psychology of the neoliberal subject.
