type in "trapped" on flickr, and stumble upon brooke shaden's photos. my favorites are the less-manipulated ones, dealing with the ordinary body. that one also has sinks.
this stopped me in my tracks.
reminiscent of a dolled-down, less explicit Cindy Sherman, she uses herself as subject to depict victimization, both by the self and by external forces.
self-victimization often feels like it's impelled by external forces. . . is this a lie?

a lesson in doing
after not visiting Miranda July’s Learning To Love You More since winter, i find that assignments can no longer appear on the website. this is slightly sad, because my ideas for the ones i wanted to do remained lodged in the contemptably hot and sticky lava of potential. of course, i can still do the assignments, but somehow am less inclined to. this makes me question my motivation for doing them in the first place; the purpose of the project is to do the things, not to increase my own fame by having other people know i did them.
