“ There is a consistent set of themes explored in
Gaga’s videos, with the three most notable strands being: the
intersection of sex, mortality, and public image; the ambiguity and
blurring of sexuality and gender roles; and pop music and its attendant
fame as an infectious, devouring monster. These themes are bound and
unified by a distinctive visual style: at once literate and hedonistic,
and possessed with a beautiful alien eroticism.”
