Project #3
This performance was inspired by the former exercise and the verb I used to spray. I also wanted to execute a performance that I could do easily on my own as I had no one else to hold the camera for me so this performance offered an outlet of ease. This was inspired by the verb, but also evolved into a social and political commentary thought I will leave the interpretation up to the viewers. Though this performance is a comment on history and ideals of the human condition. I had planned out a full story narrative for this piece, but unfortunately had to cut it down as my phone wouldn’t take video for longer than two minutes. So I did go over the time limit of the project anyways. I wanted to display the full narrative though. There is a story here.I took a picture of the end product of the performance as it is visually interesting. I’m not sure why I chose paint as the focal point of the performance though besides the fact that during this time of isolation I have been painting with acrylics a lot and the texture has kind of caught my imagination. The texture alone is fascinating, but the texture on human skin is even more fascinating and takes on a life of it’s own. The paint is one of the strongest symbols of this work as well as the water. The overall texture is really important too. Overall this piece was a lot of fun. It brought out my inner child, but also transformed into an almost transcendental spiritual experience.
