1.) You often seem to use yourself, as a model in both your video and still images, is there significance to this?
2.) Women and sexuality appear to play a repeating role in your work, what is your interest in relationships between people and sexuality?
3 words : failures, travel and amusing
“Documentary is a conversation with the real world”—Laurel Nakadate
Even though Nakadate, 35, has been investigating the theme of sex and power for a decade, she doesn't claim to have come up with a conclusion. "I think artists are always trying to mine material that they don't necessarily have the answers for,"
I really enjoyed Laurel Nakadate’s lecture. I found it interesting how she showed us work from when she was eighteen years old to illustrate to us how you learn from experience and improve your work and concepts over time. I also appreciated how she discussed trial, error, and her failures with us and how to accept them in a good way. The idea that she has made several films, went with the flow of things and found locations the day of shooting was surprising to hear but reassuring to know that things will all work out if you have hope and believe in what your working on. I felt a bit remorseful when Nakadate was discussing the research and dedication she put in to all her older work because technology was not as readily available as it is now. Such as in her piece, “Oops”, 2000 when she had to watch MTV for a week to learn the dance moves from Britney Spears music video. Art changes overtime with technology and sometimes I forget that so it was appealing to hear it again from another artist.
