An artist has asked me (a few times now) if I will participate in a 60 second video in a series that he is putting together. I would be asked to describe, in 60 seconds, my anger toward a particular person. The camera is the “person”, and I can say whatever I want to them to let them know I’m angry. Whatever happens, happens. The only thing he asks is that I don’t break the camera (hahahaha).
Part of me says absolutely. I would love to be a piece of his art. It’s usually controversial, and extremely intelligent. He also doesn’t utilize gimmicks (and I really abhor artists who use gimmicks in their pieces; they think they’re being creative and subversive, but they’re really just being annoying).
Another part of me just isn’t that angry at any one, specific person anymore. I’ve let a lot go over the past few months. Am I really interested in drudging up the past for the sake of his art? I might be. I’m not rage-filled anymore, which could provide a rather beautiful conceptualization of anger, one that is much different from my past.
I feel like one of the reasons he asked me is because he thinks that I will act out. It’s interesting to think about what may happen if I don’t.
