After her first assignment of the year, The Artist’s Recipe, forced Elizabeth Norman to make an infomercial, she found inspiration for this distinctive project. Five screens portray different versions of reality television: infomercials, political ads, televangelists, competitions and an audition for a reality show. Intended to be slightly off-putting, Norman acted as the focal point for each work, moving against a green-screen background. In creating each piece, Norman conducted research, watching different genres of TV and listening to political campaign ads from failed presidential candidates. “I actually fell asleep listening to Carly Fiorina,” Norman said.
