Continuing my exploration of the self and alter egos I produced this body of work, which I called Brooke.
This alter ego spawns off the idea of having hard exteriors or thick skin. I thought about a girl that never lets her guard down around anybody and not even for herself. The model was asked to portray tough, bored, vague, angry and neutral emotions. Might re-do concept in the future. Model: Elizabeth Sandman

"SOLIPSSEY" is a word I invented especially for the video-poem. It combines the ideas of solipsism and odyssey. In the video-poem the solipsist explains his point of view to himself. I filmed it in black and white and composed a soundtrack specially for the film.
The philosophy of solipsism has a special fascination. Shockingly, its basis that nothing is certain to exist outside of the self is undeniable and yet how can anything function if it is true? Maybe that is why things do not function, who knows. Sometimes I think it is an attitude. That would explain why it appears both true and untrue. Who can deny that life is relationship of one kind or another. But what if it is all based on illusion. Fascinating and disturbing questions...
At first the video and commentary may appear obscure. Most of us rarely have time to delve into the true meaning of existence. Strangely enough, the whole message is not at all specific to myself. In actual fact, it is true for every single one of us. Patience is needed to understand the video and tune in to it. Then one discovers a stunning paradox: existence is not one bit personal!
I was on medication that made me sensitive to light...from any source. Honestly, I shouldn't have even done this hike...

I love making faces...I'm serious about life, but always silly and making faces. I'm a Paradox...

This was during the critique of our first assignment, "The Self." My piece is beside the painted soccer ball, on the bottom right hand corner of the shot.
