Theme: Identity construction within popular culture, artistic practices and the everyday.

Posing the question of who is copying whom this presentation will contemplate ideas surrounding identity authorship as well as consider the various levels of parody evident in the selected clips shown. Consideration will be given to ways in which various cultures parody each other’s dominant strands of popular culture and how this can form parodist hybrids..
Kivinen is a performance artist from Sydney, Australia currently based in Helsinki whilst completing an MA in Live Art and Performance Studies at the Theatre Academy. Her work explores elements of fiction, reality, imitation and performativity.

Teema: Identiteettirakenne populaarikulttuurissa, taiteellisessa työssä ja jokapäiväisessä elämässä.
Tämä tilaisuus keskittyy tapoihin, joilla imitaatio ilmenee populaarikulttuurissa, taiteellisessa työssä ja jokapäiväisessä elämässä. Tuomalla esille kysymyksen, että kuka kopioi ketä esitys käsittelee ideoita, jotka ympäröivät identiteetin omistussuhdetta. Tilanne käsittelee eri tapoja, joilla parodia tulee näkyväksi esillä olevissa valikoiduissa video-otoksissa.
