Show me how to feel
i wait, i dont move, i hold my breath
i let my body fall deeper into their arms
i shut my eyes
i continue falling
i take a picture of myself for them to see me
we have the same body
you and me
us and them
show me how to feel
fighting, I’m not mad,
it feels good to fight, to inflict our will,
exhausting our bodies until we can’t move
when you catch me looking at you i dont look away
we wear a mask
us watching you watching us
Show me how to feel explores the realization of self through the performance of the other.
Power exchange, group dynamics, initiation and ritual are navigated. The images reveal multiple perspectives, tension and the ambiguity between the real and the performed, the point where the separation between character and actor becomes blurred. What is not visible within the frame holds equal weight to that which is depicted.
