Performance artist Karen Finley embodys and reimagins larger-than-life public figures in her performances, making sense of the political trauma and cultural chaos of the first decade of the new century: Liza Minelli becomes every New Yorker in the wake of 9/11, former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer has a Freudian revelation, and Jackie O works through her post-traumatic stress as the Obamas become America's First Family.
