NUDITY IN A PRIVATE SPACE OR A DECLARATION?
On her 27th birthday Lisa Steel video taped her self in the nude recanting the scars on her body and thus telling the story of her physical life. This piece makes me think of a preformance for ones self in ones own privacy, confessional naked, preformance. In telling the storys of her scars and her clumbsiness; it seems that Lisa Steel is confronting us, the audiance, in the raw and nude self to show that our bourgeois American sexual taboos are only "skin deep". I enjoyed Lisa Steels film because to release a private preformance to strangers is a brave event. To see Lisa Steels film about her life of clumbsiness felt real because who doesn't recall the scar on the knee from falling off our bikes. The black and white quality of the film says to me this is my journal except it as is.
