ID 70 Nobody In Nobody I project Emily Dickinson s poem I m Nobody Who are you onto my naked back allowing the words to trace the contours of my body which reveal my torso and butt as I narrate the verses Emily Dickinson s poem explores the themes of identity privacy and the tension between being Nobody and Somebody Dickinson s embrace of being Nobody challenges societal expectations suggesting that there is freedom and power in anonymity To be Nobody in her view is to exist outside the pressures of public scrutiny to retain a sense of self that is untouched by the need for validation or recognition As a model and artist these themes resonate deeply with me My work often places me in the role of Somebody a figure observed interpreted and sometimes objectified by the public The visibility that comes with this role is both empowering and vulnerable as I navigate the space between self-expression and external perception Dickinson s poem however offers a different perspective it celebrates the value of maintaining a private inner self free from the gaze of others In Nobody I embody this duality The poem s words projected onto my body transform into a physical experience blurring the line between the poem s message and my own identity By choosing to display these words on my skin I invite you as a viewer to engage with the themes of the poem while also confronting your own role as observers Nobody is a meditation on identity and the power of choosing when and how to be seen It challenges the viewer to reconsider the value of visibility and the freedom that comes with embracing the Nobody within Through this work I reclaim my body as a canvas for my own narrative one that exists beyond societal expectations where I am free to define myself on my own terms In this video In this 1-minute and 6-second video I appear for the first 43 seconds where you see my naked but not explicitly nude body including my bare butt as I stand in front of a projector with Emily Dickinson s poem I m Nobody Who are you projected onto my skin I narrate the poem over soft music with the remaining time dedicated to credits and an extension of the music creating an intimate and contemplative visual experience
