Consciousness is the first survey of Brown’s expansive practice in video and performance. Spanning eight years and 47 works, this book includes never-before-seen photos and lyrics from her humorous, allegorical, and sobering compositions.

It contains documentation from 46 videos and performances and 33 original lyrics in artist-run spaces, museums, music venues, and galleries.
