Rosalind Krauss; Narcissism

I found this essay to be a pretty difficult read and hard to follow along. What I got from it though was that Krauss is presenting various examples of narcism, mostly in video works and comparing them to other narcissistic styled works of art. He compares the works with the relationship between the subject, medium, object, artist and viewer. For example, he states that mirror reflections imply the "vanquishing of separateness" and it creates the illusion of erasing the difference between subject and object. Through separation, reflection, projection, and repetition of sound seen in the works of videos he presents video as a sort of narcissistic medium and the artist as self-centered, and sometimes even the audience as well when they are immersed in the video through mirrors and projection. It looks like Krauss might be trying to point out how self-absorbed our society has become and how careful we need to be because it is so easy to become narcissistic without even realizing it being in your own world.
