Performance artist Nao Bustamante loves the camera, and from all evidence, it loves her right back. In her cheeky, visceral, darkly absurd and politically charged stagings, she often adopts colorful, even challenging personae ? a practice which has served her well across more allegedly mainstream television situations, such as her memorable appearance on the Jerry Saltz reality show, Work of Art.

Tonight's program, Nao Bustamante Is Delusional, is presented by Dirty Looks, who regularly produce evenings of eclectic and progressive short videos. But in the case of Bustamante's vastly interdisciplinary and intersectional body of work, they need look no further than this one-woman film festival for a kaleidoscopic array of beautiful, subversive madness.
