Alexis O’Hara: OUFF

OUFF

Late capitalism, youth culture, white privilege, oh my! OUFF is an onomatopoeia, the heaviest of sighs. A deconstruction of white privilege in all its ugly shades. The costume mutates and the décor expands to threaten us all. This is the non-white of whiteness, a rich-lady rosé, the sad sick beige of a dirty bandage, an angry, saggy fake-tan.
