Jenn Berger - Hillary as a Child

October 22, 2016 Roberta Gentry

 Saturday Oct. 22 from 5-9pm and Sunday Oct 23 from 1-5pm, 
Monte Vista Projects presents:
 
Hillary Clinton As A Child by Jenn Berger
 
Combining half of a child size doll, drawing replacing the doll's front, and video eyes sourced from the Benghazi hearing, Hillary Clinton As A Child speaks to the construction of a larger than life identity over time. The mention of just the name Hillary Clinton brings an immediate response. From where do we form an opinion of our politicians? Based on a childhood photo of Hillary, HCAAC stands as a reminder of Hillary’s history, that she was not always the Hillary Clinton we think we know today.
 
"For on television the politician does not so much offer the audience an image of [herself], as offer [herself] as an image of the audience."
-Neil Postman, Amusing Ourselves To Death, 1985
