Painted

In class today April 4th, we watched a performance video in class called Painted. It was an interesting video, but also very cool to watch. I liked the aesthetics of the building she was dancing in. The lighting and tones of color in the building were very pleasing to the eye. The way she was dressed made me think of a distressed ballerina. Her make up looked dark and almost made her look hollow. You could see how skinny she was by the way her ribs stuck out of her skin. Another part of the video that was was eerie to see was the raven up close and personal. This performance video made me feel a little sad. I wanted to give the girl a hug because she looked empty and hopeless. I think the point they were trying to show was that the girl was as broken as the destroyed house. One part that stood out to me was when she was sliding across the wall with the peeled away paint. I think the video was trying to show that maybe her or her heart has been slowly peeling away like the paint on the wall.
