Masked and merkin-clad performance artist Narcissister reveals the deeper meanings behind her spectacular onstage interactions with mannequins, veils, a giant sculpted vagina, and her own body orifices. Growing up the biracial child of a Sephardic Jewish mother from Morocco and an African American father from Los Angeles, the Brooklyn-based artist reflects on the evolution of her work rooted in family, embodied culture, and erotic expression. With elaborate costumes, pop music, and humor, Narcissister Organ Player is a thrilling, profound, and utterly moving portrait of the liberation of body and psyche through art. 2018, US, digital, 91 min.
