Personal Cuts
Sanja Iveković Osobni rezovi, HR, 1982, 4', SD videoExploring the relationship of the individual, society and television in her video, the author stages a close-up performance in front of the camera: with huge scissors she is cutting one by one holes in the black stocking that covers her face, thus “filling in” each new hole with a new clip from a TV show History of Yugoslavia. The act of bearing the face and “liberating” personal identity is simultaneously an anxious confession of being personally defined by social stereotypes mediated through TV image.
