 Performance piece video  

I decided to create a performance piece based on nostalgia and bodily functions . My plan for this piece is to create a performance video piece in where I vomit calmly onto a canvas over and over using childish colourful paint instead of sick. I taped white plastic sheets to the walls and floor of my room and also dressed in all white to really created and dramatic contrast with the paint. I was trying to create a sense of calm with the sound clips I chose and contrast that with the violence of the clips. I enjoyed this and think it turned out looking very cool but if I were to do it again I definitely want to use a tripod and camera rather than just my phone, have a proper white room and perhaps actually have people watch it. 

After I created my video from the performance I decided I wanted to do something with the canvas as it looked cool but bland. I decided to lean into the humerus side of bodily functions and nostalgia. The paint colours I’d already used have a very childish feel to them which was intentional and really helped in picking the imagery of the unicorn, to link it back to this idea or nostalgia and harsh reality I decided to paint the unicorn peeing. I really love how this piece turned out, I think the background works so well with the imagery.
