{"title":"Georgina Starr","description":"\u003cp\u003eGeorgina Starr (born 1968, Leeds) is a British artist whose practice spans video, installation, performance, drawing and publication. Emerging in the early 1990s, Starr developed a body of work centred on fantasy, obsession, memory and the construction of identity — often through the figure of a fictional alter ego or an elaborately staged interior world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHer work frequently takes the form of extended narrative projects: \u003cem\u003eThe Party\u003c\/em\u003e (1995), \u003cem\u003eTuberama\u003c\/em\u003e (1994), and the \u003cem\u003eBunny Lakes\u003c\/em\u003e series each construct immersive fictional universes with their own characters, soundtracks, costumes and logic. The work draws on the aesthetics of pop culture — teen magazines, horror films, girl groups, amateur theatre — and subjects them to a process of obsessive elaboration that transforms the familiar into something stranger and more private.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStarr has exhibited internationally and her publications — artist books, catalogues, and printed matter produced in connection with her projects — are often integral to the work itself, extending the fictional world of each project into the format of the page.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"package-holiday-new-british-art-ophiuchus-collection-hydra-1997","title":"PACKAGE HOLIDAY: New British Art in the Ophiuchus Collection.
