Come Into My Bedroom
1. An organism of trauma confronting our everyday existence what does it mean to engage in a space – to be present in space – with our digital memory –
Where u are always watched – watching yourself – performative actions –
body sits with itself – breaking down memories of trauma – fragments
Dissociation from memory
I sat with myself in a room making things to put my body into
I watched ur body sitting
I watch bodies carrying the weight of other bodies
Ur pain is hot
Everyone wants a little bit of trauma
I would enjoy to live lavishly in it
Privatize my Suffering
2. Picture two hamster rubbing themselves over each other in a slow but steady fashion their bodies writhing – “ they feel holy in this moment” pain is elevated – performative action – take a selfie with the gyrating hamsters – if u love ur animal let it cum.
3. – in the future you will forget this part – Lower the pitch of your suffering
4. Do u want to play with me ?
Yes . NO
