Self-Portrait #1
Here’s the first entry in my new video self-portrait project I’m tentatively calling “Myself As Another.” There will be more to come.
Please feel free to comment below. If you know of any related projects, if you have any thoughts on this one, or decide to post your own video self-portrait on your own blog, let me know. I’ll respond as soon as I can. Thanks. T.
(For an introduction to and explanation of the project, watch this entry.)
This is a great idea! My current project is a meditation where I stare into a mirror for 62 minutes making eye contact with myself. Maybe I should film it! During one of the Tantric Yoga exercises in New Mexico, we stared for that long into our partner’s eyes. I cried. It’s quite a confrontation with yourself to be looked at so directly for so long.
Here’s a quick clip of me before the drive home.
Sorry, the embedded clip didn’t show up in the previous comment. Here’s the link:
