- Опубликовано: 8 авг 2024
- 'When I’m affected by an artwork, it can often be shifting your perception of reality just in an even very minute way. So, I hope that my work gives you a slightly different perspective, maybe on ways we talk about contemporary politics…. and the power that comes with that.’ - Rachel Maclean
Learn how Scottish video artist Rachel Maclean uses satire, and techniques borrowed from performance art, to deconstruct some of the myths behind national identity and expose absurdities in contemporary politics. She explores these themes through her works The Lion and the Unicorn (2012) and the VR piece I’m Terribly Sorry (2018).

The detail in the cake, costume and makeup is excellent. Gorgeous and beautiful are two words that keep coming to mind.
Absolutely - we're in all in awe of Rachel's laser-sharp work. Thanks for watching!
So cool! I really love this work
omg, the VR experience is so funny! ahahaha. The Most British experience ever
Saw this in the national gallery in London. Very nice.
We hope you loved Maclean's work as much as we do!
You could look at the US through an almost identical lens. The source material would be different but we are really bound by our own mythmaking as well. We never have to vote on and explicitly declare a “Brexit.“ we just have sort of a natural pendulum swing between isolationism and American empire=the rest of the world doing what we want. Yea to our eagle as a national symbol. I think, what nation has chosen as a symbol a creature with thumbs?
