Back to the idea of thread, I thought this could be an intesting way of showing pain in a particular area, as thread.
David Cata has done this as a way of journaling his experiences, instead of writing his memories, he has sewn them into the hands that experienced them.
I dont feel like I will create work similar to this, however I am intruiged by how he has made the human body into a canvas to represent a feeling.
David Catâ: Avuçlar kalbe!
Başka insanların anlattığı hikayeler ne kadar yabancı ve enteresan geliyor kulağa değil mi? Siz yaşarken asla o kadar ilginç olmayan bazı hikayeler, başka insanlar alıp üzerine giyinince hep daha ilgi uyandırıcı nedense.
İsponyol performans sanatçısı David Catâ için belki o kadar da romantik olmayan bir performans bile olsa, “a flor de piel” avuç içlerimizi kalbimize götürmemize yeterli gibi.

A flor de piel (Overexposed emotions)
“Using thread and needle to saw people faces on the palm of my hand, I represent all the people that left a mark on my life. My first step involves selecting the picture of the person I want to represent and making a drawing on my hand, which I will use as a guide. Then, I take some thread and a needle and start sewing their faces onto a superficial layer of my skin. Each portrait takes about four hours to finish and once it’s completed, I record the action. The portraits are composed of two photographs (the sewn portrait and the mark left by the sewing) and a video performance, during which I remove the sewn face from my hand. [...] I’ve completed 21 portraits of my family, friends, teachers and partners so far. It’s a lifelong project, so it will evolve on a continual basis.”
