Project 4
Perception: Biomimicry
10-02-2023
“
No more photos. Surely there are enough. No more shadows of myself thrown by light onto pieces of paper, onto squares of plastic. No more of my eyes, mouths, noses, moods, bad angles.
No more yawns, teeth, wrinkles. I suffer from my own mulitplicity. Two of three images would have been enough, or four, or five. That would have allowed for a firm idea: This is she. As it is, I’m water, I ripple, from moment to moment I dissolve into my other selves. Turn the page: you, looking, are newly confused. You know me too well to know me. Or not too well: too much.
