Top Comments of this video!! :3
I saw a talk by this artist a few years ago and they couldn't really answer any questions about their work or their motivations. I really got the impression that it's more about ego and what will be aesthetically and rhetorically pleasing enough to give them a career, combined with immense navel-gazing narcissism, rather than any legitimate artistic motivation. There's a ton of this vague, pseudo-intellectual performance/video work floating around at the moment, none of which has any intellectual underpinnings or progresses anything other than the artist's career. SWK's work is just the most popular example of this, for now.

I find a lot of the comments about their art is fully rooted in bigotry, racism and queerphobia and especially by people who aren’t critically thinking about their art because if you were to criticise Sin’s work - you wouldn’t bring their ethnicity or their sexuality or their gender into it. You’d instead look at their actual concept and context of their art.

2:47 "things that everybody can identify with..." Lol by trying to make the obvious look contrivingly ridiculous? 😅 The thing is, I don't disagree with her thesis that a lot of pop culture identities are constructed by media for commercial gains. But I don't see any merit in her regurgitating those obvious constructions in a new manner. These neither look like critiques, nor as celebrations etc, but just as making weird in order to look like "contemporary art". This is what we have been getting out of the Marxist indoctrination in art colleges, and we are all the worse off for it (do take note of Marxist jargon here, such as "archive", "construct" and "deconstruction (improperly used here; 'deconstruction' doesn't mean breaking things down)

Saw their work in Dundee in 2020 and I am blown away by how far they've come.
