For this action I met with Marcia in order to help each other expand our ideas. After our chat I decided to work on 2 concepts: Caring and Connection. They perfectly match with my concerns for women, nature and local culture. I wanted to show human connection and caring through video sketching with some elements from my previous actions. So I used embroidery threads for my first video. A couple of weeks ago, I asked the whole class to send me a picture of what is valuable for them. It was a great experience, because I got a chance to chat with a couple of my classmates and get to know them better. All the pictures had a story behind them. I thought I could use them for my action 3, but it didn’t happened. For this action I went back to them and I used them to show reciprocity connections. So the concept of “Caring for Caring” emerged in this video.
For the second video I was thinking about human connection and women. I used Shadow playing which is a traditional play in my country. Aside that, I used shadow to show women hide a lot of their emotions and experiences, especially the bitter ones. I used threads in this video as well, as a mean for connecting people and making them united. I used hands to tell the stories of women by their bodies and tried to show all the emotions through movements.
