Artist’s Statement
Title: Skin
Artist: Christina Donoghue
Medium: Digital video installation
Skin is a series of interviews that asked the participants to share the life experience of their skin. Skin was conceived from a desire to have a conversation about identity from a common baseline. By allowing people’s narratives and emotions around their skin to unfold organically on film both our sameness and our differences are discussed by association in a microcosmic fashion that relates to the larger discussions of personal, ethnic, generational, gender, sexual and minority identity. Travelling from the textural to the visceral Skin speaks to our awareness of self and explores the connections between our internal and external journeys.
