Over the past week or so I have been working on some video pieces of me removing my makeup and trying to capture how I feel when removing my makeup.
For me it is as if I am uncovering my true self and break down this wall of self-confidence that I falsely put up.
I called the piece ‘Destruction’ as for me it is like self-destruct , I am breaking down this more eye pleasing outer wall and uncovering the grey bare, less eye pleasing under coat of my face. I hate removing my makeup it makes me feel very unconfutable and very unconfident in myself.
The video I have edited and added music to it, I chose some instrumental simple music that I felt described how I was feeling when I was removing my makeup. I have always edited the video so one version is colour and one is in black and white. I like the colour version as I think you can see the colours and textures of my skin and makeup, However the black and white for me makes it harder to watch it makes it (I feel personally) more unconfutable to watch and upsetting. I also make the video close up so all you can see is my face and bare skin. I still haven’t decided yet which version I like more.
Also i personally hate watching this video and cant bare to watch it.
Destruction (Black and White)
