Spike Lee's "Do the Right Thing" and Nikki S. Lee's "Hip Hop Project" both offer self-portraits of the artists, but in very different ways. In "Do the Right Thing," Spike Lee shows himself as a filmmaker with a strong social and political message. The film addresses issues of race, violence, and community in a way that reflects Lee's own views and experiences. Through the characters and the story, Lee presents his perspective on these issues and how they affect him personally. On the other hand, Nikki S. Lee's "Hip Hop Project" is a series of photographs in which Lee inserts herself into various hip hop subcultures. Through these images, Lee explores her own identity and the ways in which it is shaped by the different communities she immerses herself in. This project reveals Lee's interest in cultural identity and the ways in which it can be fluid and multifaceted. Both artists show aspects of themselves that are conventional in the sense that they are expressing their own perspectives and experiences. However, they are unconventional in the way they do so. Spike Lee's film is a more traditional medium for self-expression, while Nikki S. Lee's use of photography and performance art challenges traditional notions of self-portraiture. The medium used does affect the way we view the artworks. Spike Lee's film allows for a more immersive and narrative experience, while Nikki S. Lee's photographs offer a more immediate and visual representation of her exploration of identity. Each medium provides a different lens through which to understand the artists' self-portrayals. In conclusion, both Spike Lee and Nikki S. Lee offer unconventional self-portraits that challenge traditional notions of self-expression. The medium used does affect the way we view the artworks, as each offers a unique perspective and experience for the viewer.
