Robyn...



i wanted to take my vintage videos into a new direction. inspired by warhol's screen tests and calvin klein's basement ads....i came up with this.
decreased speed and desaturated tones to look more like film
static filter and wave effect for an amateur look

storytime...

got shown this, in class last night, as a classic film narrative.
i like it because the perceived protagonist is really the antagonist.

on the surface...

i have dermographism
The term literally means writing on the skin but in short...im allergic to being scratched.
when i first got symptoms, it was overnight...sudden. HUGE welts would appear with no rhythm or reason. i started to see quickly where the name had come from. you can purposely give yourself a hive just by gently draggin your fingernail against your skin. in the first year, it was extreme and very uncomfortable. but in time, it lessened. almost to the point of forgetting i had it. but out of nowhere sometimes...BAM, its back. i have no idea why its so inconsistent...i just figured i was one of the luck ones. i could not imagine having to deal with the original intensity i once experienced. there is no cure, but luckily it has the ability to go away on its own. as for now, i struggle with bouts of feeling 'bug bites' all over. all i wanna do is itch it BUT as i previously stated, im allergic to scratching. it will only make it worse...much worse. i dont get hives anymore...and i almost wish i did because the histamine that flares up, has no physical evidence on my skin. so you can imagine, it makes me look alil crazy. while having a 'bad skin day', i look like im retaliating against an attack of invisible fire ants.
i stumbled upon people photographing their hives...even one woman making her images into self-expression.

no one...

The day breaks, your mind aches
You find that all her words of kindness linger on
When she no longer needs you

She wakes up, she makes up
She takes her time and doesn't feel she has to hurry
She no longer needs you

And in her eyes you see nothing
No sign of love behind her tears
Cried for no one
A love that should have lasted years

You want her, you need her
And yet you don't believe her when she says her love is dead
You think she needs you

And in her eyes you see nothing
No sign of love behind the tears
Cried for no one
A love that should have lasted years

You stay home, she goes out
She says that long ago she knew someone but now he's gone
She doesn't need him

Your day breaks, your mind aches
There will be times when all the things she said will fill your head
You won't forget her

And in her eyes you see nothing
No sign of love behind her tears
Cried for no one
A love that should have lasted years
