Summary

1. "Exploring themes of identity, gender, consumerism, and the media, Rachel Maclean's eyepopping work uses the visual tropes and references of the internet-era to create a commentary on contemporary life. This book presents a considerable body of work, consisting of eight videos and four print series that span Maclean's career so far. It features an introductory essay by Melissa Gronlund that explores how the artist melds fairy tales, childhood, politics and capitalism, and a text by writer William Davies looking at the themes of happiness and surveillance in the video Feed Me. Also included is an interview with the artist, which gives an insight into her influences, themes and working practices."
