Solipsism Syndrome Janet Biggs' video Solipsism Syndrome presents an alienating landscape where thrashing underwater dancers, swimming polar bears, and limitless frozen seas pose questions about captivity and free will. Biggs� subjects are situated at the problematic intersection of beauty, desire, and restraint. As a theory, solipsism states that all perceptions exist only in an individual's imagination and that there is no reality outside of one's own mind. The whole of life becomes a long dream from which an individual can never wake up. This nightmarish state of mind can be triggered by time spent underwater or in the twenty-four-hour darkness of artic winter nights. Text:
