Added 2021-02-07 14:45:58 +0000 UTCI think about the shapes I make, I try to explore the frame. How does one communicate desire? Especially when you think about how it's just me and my camera (which is really just my phone), and maybe one of my animals is around just out of frame. Who is my audience that I dance for? I feel like I'm in the beginning of something, like a language being translated. An organic or Gian language of carnality, what shapes my tongue takes, what shapes my body takes, and those birds who build stages to perform on, using førced perspective to make them seem larger, or their plumage more vibrant. I think about the body that I will leave behind, and how my identity is beyond my body. Viktor E Frankl describes his experience in concentration camps in his book Mans Search For Meaning. He talks about being stripped down to his bare humanity, and I think about what that means as some one who preforms in the nude. To be nude, to convey desire, to be desirable, what does that look like, here and now in this space? It's easy to stand naked in front of a camera and take a picture, it only becomes are when you think more about what it means to stand in front of a camera naked. What shapes you take, what you wear or don't wear. Success is subjective.
