“Just Another Shadie Bitch” is a multimedia project looking at the greek concept of tragedy, Opera, and social drama. Act I puts extracts of the play Antigone (Sophocles) and the opera Carmen (Bizet) in the exhibition space. The quotes are cut through posters and then applied to the wall. The text exists in a positive/negative relationship between the posters and the wall.
