‘Hy’ [Swedish]: Skin or Complexion

director: Shini Park
DoP: Emarr Kihomano
photo assist & music supervision: Simon Schmidt

I think of all the gunk we smear in daily in the efforts to control, manipulate it’s appearance and can’t help but feel helpless, even foolish.

I assign my own identity to the very final stage of manipulation (/makeup), after all. I attach status and confidence to skin that falls (eczema), and cloak the different hues of imperfections and complexities that otherwise would give body to wine. And why is it that I am Me only to my partner and the postman that rings the bell too early in the morning?
