Birthday Suit - with scars and defects by Lisa Steele
This film surprised me. When I first heard the word nude, I thought, "sweet, nude girl." Im not some kind of pervert who hangs out in strip clubs. I just think women are beautiful. I was delighted to see how intense and engaging the video was. In being nude she created a more personal video. Each scar was drawn out and held almost to a point of discomfort. But never to long. The audio gave a feeling of an autopsy as did the video format. The honest quality of video helped to create an -intimate feel. There was just something in the way she rubbed her scars that made me feel them myself.

I agree with you that the Lisa Steele work was different than expected. I get tired of all the nudity we are subjected to in the name of art, but I felt that generally this video had an actual point and I didn't mind it so much. The tracing of the scars was almost poetic and I found myself feeling really bad for her to have had that many accidents and experiences and thought she was brave to share it with an audience.
