Not my autobiography?
0.0/10
Overview
In Not my autobiography? personal and collective markers of identity are fragmented, rearranged and made incoherent. The collages are made from lifestyle/fashion magazines. The 'autobiography' could be seen as the Frankenstein child of House & Garden and Vogue Living. Aspirational white culture comes under playful critique, and yet the title Not my autobiography? features a question mark. And while a pyromaniac memoir does sound like something you might want to evade and disassociate from, as much as you might want to denounce a House & Garden parent, the ‘fiery temperament’ of Rachel O’s so-called autobiography is a nod to the underground fires that occurred in the area where the artist grew up in the Waikato, an ongoing legacy of colonisation that is discussed in more detail in the video.
