KAREN ELIOT Karen Eliot is a name that refers to an individual human being who can be anyone. The name is fixed, the people using it aren't. Smile is a name that refers to an international magazine with multiple origins. The name is fixed, the types of magazines using it aren't. The purpose of many different magazines and people using the same name is to create a situation for which no one in particular is responsible and to practically examine western philosophical notions of identity, individuality, originality, value and truth. |
The above shows two people doing a Karen Eliot performance. They must argue with each other until the audience walks out, by repeating the phrase 'my name is Karen Eliot' in an attempt to prove this is their own 'identity'. |
