Turn the tables on
1. Does "at the point where they want her to stop" mean "at the moment that they desire to have a still picture of her"?
2. Does "does her self-objectification turn the tables on the narcissistic desires of the art world" mean "does
her self-objectification changes the situation against the narcissistic desires of the art world"?
3. Does "whose" refer to "the narcissistic desires of the art world"?
Context:
In her photographic series Strip, 1999–2000, Stehli is positioned with her back to the viewer, towards whom are faced the various art critics, curators and dealers in front of whom Stehli strips, having given them the remote to take the photograph at the point where they want her to stop. Is this an act of narcissistic exhibitionism or does her self-objectification turn the tables on the narcissistic desires of the art world, whose male representatives take up varying positions of power. Does her act guarantee their male narcissism or does she perform an exposure of the illusions that narcissism is predicated on?
