In front of the camera, I search for and discover the anatomy of my bone structure structure by feeling my skeleton and blackening the spaces between them. Make-up as a way of setting accents and masking areas of skin is taken to a painterly level here in order to make the skeleton appear on the skin. The metamorphosis and the dance allude to various anatomical and symbolic aspects. The skeleton is shown here both as a supporting and living structure, as it is in constant regeneration, and as a symbol of death, as a remnant of life. At the end of the video, a kind of Mexican dance of death can be seen, which confronts mortality with humor.
