MATT WHITE
Play the lottery! Papparazzi! Drinking rules!
Situations will be created where you must make choices
You are limited in your choices, like a prisoner in a dilemma
INSTALLATION / PERFORMANCE by MATT WHITE
STATEMENT:
My performance-based work is always a reaction to my environment, mostly my political or social environments. Most of my performances in the past have involved me blending into my cultural surroundings. Forcing the viewers to question the legitimacy of my actions and in turn questioning their own actions.
