In The Making of XXXII the artist shows the unsuccessful filming of XXXII, including the accidental interruption of the performance by her boyfriend. The inclusion of their conversation gives an insight into the artist’s domestic life and the many roles that she plays by allowing them to seep into the frame. It is a raw account of the reality of life as an artist, the vulnerability and frustration that are often experienced through the making and showing of work, and the many failed attempts that are endured during the process.
