The story

What Is Privilege About?

The premise of Privilege without spoilers.

The work presents an intelligently conceived, boldly anarchic and sharply insightful critique of the culturally ingrained isms—ageism, sexism, economic elitism and racism—that shape notions of empowerment today. Rainer builds texture by intercutting archival footage, video and film, employing a film‑within‑a‑film structure, elliptical self‑referential juxtapositions of past and present, and frequent superimposed typed text.
