Cecelia Condit - Beneath the Skin 1981

Different skin, surfaces, varitey of texture, video taping different surfaces. Contrast between the impersonal horror of a news story heard on TV & the interview of a storyteller!!! Two face's superimposed over her own face. One sleeping, one awake, a memorable conversation that seemed to be very much dream like yet very active in a "gossip circle". The visual exploration between chroma keying, to black and white, to textural. Variety of visuales, the blurred skull. The way this piece was presented to me "the audiance" seemed to be like this is me in my dreams over my subconcious. When we watched this movie I felt like i was inside her mind yet over her body in a death experiance. I liked this movie I thought it was a novel approach to depicting dreams and the beholder of those dreams.
