Aug 5, 2021·1 replyThe naked form represents how exposed the famous are. We're upset about seeing Cosby because we know so much about Cosby. We're upset about seeing Rihanna next to Chris Brown because we know so much about those two. We're upset at seeing Taylor because we know her history with Kanye. Famous people, including yourself, Lena, are already stripped by the gaze of the media and the public.
Compare Kanye's work to the painting it references, Sleep. The physical positioning is a legitimate graphic match. The only difference is Kanye has recognizable celebrities and sleep has people so anonymous we don't know if they're the artist's imaginings or not. The people in the original Sleep could have all been murderers, but they're not famous so we don't even think about WHO they are, just their aesthetic and thematic relevance in a work of art. Because of the anonymity, Sleep is something we appreciate on a cerebral level only. Kanye substitutes in celebrities and the cerebral appreciation disappears. All there is is visceral response.
That visceral response is part of the statement. The public and media expose celebrities all day. They devour celebrities. They make celebrities and break them. Yet the public never thinks about the impact they have. Kanye reflects the voyeruism and creep-factor that is inherent to the public's response to the famous. And how do people react? They're disgusted and shocked by Kanye.
Show the last shot of the video, the huge frame of all the celebrities lined up, to someone without any knowledge of who these people are. There'd be no reaction aside from "That's interesting." The only reason there's this reaction is because we know too much about the people in the video. The video acts as a mirror for our own knowledge of fame and feelings on these famous people.

NO way he can back up now. not Kanye, not Apple.
