Artists' Film Club: K8 Hardy: Outfitumentary

In 2001, artist and filmmaker K8 Hardy set out to document her daily outfits on video. Over an eleven‒year period, until the camera broke, she captured these outfits—and outfitting—on a fairly consistent, if not daily basis. She used the same low quality, mini-DV camera and filmed in ever-changing living spaces and art studios in New York. What emerged is a record of the way a young, lesbian feminist dressed and styled in her “coming of age” and an examination of coded fashion statements.
