Martine Gutierrez, Supremacy 

Narrator: An exclusive recording of Martine Gutierrez, reading an excerpt from her artist statement, Supremacy. 

Martine Gutierrez: Can someone have too much visibility? It should be a concern—putting forward the currency of qualifiers, the definitions of ‘self’ cast for this year’s campaign. To cash in, we must disclose. We try to buy ourselves, in the belief that authenticity is a brand. Natured by the new millennium, nurtured by hours of reality TV, targeted by Barbie DreamHouse and three easy payments of twenty-nine ninety-nine, captured by Gulliver’s avatars with long yellow hair and big boobs—dysphoria was Victoria’s secret. Miss independent, miss gendered.
