HENI Talks | Rachel Maclean: Myth, National Identity and Power | HENI Talks @HENITalks | Uploaded 5 years ago | Updated 2 hours ago
'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).
