The title really makes a difference here Steph. I'm glad you changed it. I love how he awkwardly tries to put make up on you. I know I said this in class but I think the most effective parts of this piece are when he is disrobing you and stuffing you bust with tissue paper. I would almost like to see this same kind of criticism mapped onto a guy. Just something to think about.
I agree with Colleen, in this case your title actually really helps the work. I know you struggled with titles in class, but in this case I think you did a great job. The piece itself has some good moments, but I think it is about being to isolate and fully articulate those moments - like when the tissue is going into the chest. Great job with re-work of title.
Great work Nick. I love the camera's following nature. Your work kept me thinking "how did he do that?!". You really capture a cold feeling, and rather mechanical, to the piece. Probably experimenting with monitors would of served good as well which, as you know, Nauman used in the Public/ Private space installation. R.T
