Vanessa Beecroft

Vanessa Beecroft works of art are interesting because each performance she puts on spurs many other pieces if art.  This is due to that fact that each performance has video recordings and photographs taken which can be exhibited as separate pieces of art.  Her work is a fusion of conceptual issues and concerns focusing primarily on performance art.  Each performance is made specifically for that location and often references the political, historical, or social associations of the place where it is held.  I really like that her work is simply which leaves much up to the viewer for interpretation causing the viewer to ask themselves thought provoking questions about what they truly believe.  Below are some of the pieces of hers that I found particularly interesting.
