Skin Two

Video

The camera follows the surface of a body, tracing the contours and focussing on the surface. The flesh under the gaze undulates as the camera travels slowly across its surface, almost touching, almost revealing, but not quite.

The viewpoint that we have in this piece is something that could only be achieved with a camera because it is used more as an instrument of touch and proximity than as a viewing device. The accompanying soundtrack is comprised of samples directly taken from the video’s ambient soundtrack, reworked to emphasise bodily presence.
