Introduction to Video Self-Portrait Project
In response to some rather difficult times lately, I’ve started a new project. It’s going to be a series of video self-portraits. Just me, thinking, silently for four minutes. Different days, different attitudes. The idea is to try to get outside the construct of a dialogue in my head, which of course goes exactly the way I want it to because I am actually both of those actors. Not useful. Counter-productive, I’m finding. So the idea with this video self-portrait project is to create another, separate self that I have to deal with (and get to observe) without have immediate control over. This is just an experiment. I’m not sure if it’s going to work, or what, exactly, I’m gonna find. We’ll see.
What you see posted here is the introduction to and explanation of the project. Just my talking head, really. The actual self-portraits with begin with tomorrow’s entry, and then maybe weekly after that.
If you’ve got any reactions, ideas, or know of any related projects, please feel free to post them in the comments section. I’ll respond as quickly as I can. Thanks. T.
