Shifting Identity

This performance is a reenactment of my personal transformation from a civilian/student to "soldier". In this reenactment the simple gesture of a haircut becomes consumed with cultural and social implications that force a shift in an internalized Identity. This points in to the inherent instability and simultaneously the power of the narratives and myths that construct identity.

I believe it is a form or social commentary, on how his innocence was lost. Having seen horrible things he is unable to show emotion towards the loss of his physical apperance. his eye evke a sense of inner confusion; the conflict of his outer apperance with his intelectual and moral beliefs. It is more than just a haircut it is the death of one person , durring the creation of another.

as he says he's going into the military so he's probably just being serious.

Maybe it's because I don't get "performance" films, maybe because I don't understand fully how getting hair taken off is changing your inner and outer identity, I don't know. But to me it just looks like you're getting a hair cut. -Paul

its ok, i just wish you would come to terms with your fetish for getting your hair cut off. i used to try to hide it with a lot of art talk. but if thats the way you excuse it- i say keep doing it. doesnt it feel good to get sheared?

@Donald-un7jg Ай бұрын

I would have liked to have been there, and have him shear my head like that. I have a haircut fetish, I really enjoy getting my hair cut very short, and I would have been enjoying every minute of it while he was cutting my hair that short.
