 , Arial\, SunSans-Regular\, sans-serif\;">D’Onofrio complicates the real an
 d synthetic effects of media as applied in dialogue with social and politic
 al struggles of power\, liberty\, exploitation and humiliation. In this\, h
 er most recent work\, the artist uses art historical references\, filmic tr
 opes and commercial aesthetics to tease out social codes of subjectivity an
 d consider how they affect freedoms and power.</span></p><p>Using tears and
  the act of crying as both subject and conduit to investigate these codes a
 nd their affect\, D'Onofrio takes on an analysis of the specific social imp
 ositions of sincerity and virtue as contrived "authentic" or "biological" s
 igns that internalize and enforce the feminine position. As an investigatio
 n of the deliberate boundaries of what is genuine and what is pretense\, <i
 >Real Tears</i> exists as a hologram\, enacting the contranym of the virtua
 l as both "not existing" but also "almost the same."</p><p><a href="http://
