postmodern standpoint
i saw the quick and the dead at the walker, i immediately fell in love with Adrain piper's, what will become of me. her piece consists of clear glass jars, containing her hair and fingernails, she's collected. her vision in this piece is to preserve herself, and eventually have her cremated remains among the jars. when i first saw this piece, it shocked me and almost scared me. however after thinking about it, i see no better way to preserve yourself. i think she is brilliant and daring. it takes some serious guts, to put your fingernail clippings in a jar. this piece is pushing the envelope, and challenging modern day society. i think what will become of me, is the epitome of postmodernism.
