Alex Bag



Born in New York city, Alex Bag is a female video artist. In her videos she always acts out an ironic situation. She uses irony as her trademark. Another trademark of hers is to adopt doll personaes and create paradoies in the doll world. She also uses pop culture vernacular in the dialogue in her videos.


The costumes and outfits in Alex Bag's peices are enough to make you laugh. The pieces as a whole are humorous and the dialouge makes you laugh at the piece as well as yourself. The only problem I have with her work is how hard it is to find! It was extremely difficult to find a tiny biography on Alex Bag and finding examples of her pieces were just as frustrating.
