"Unnecessary Voyeurism" Video Diary #1

"Unnecessary Voyeurism" is a breakdown of what we understand as truly being alive, and what we take for granted. It all becomes so trivial when faced with the idea of everything we know changing in a unimaginable way. The idea of being faced with devastating pain, heart-wrenching feelings of desperation, and slowly learning to put everything back together again with a smile on your face seems inconceivable. But in "Unnecessary Voyeurism", the indescribable becomes described, the unspoken speaks up, and idea of surgery becomes more than just a word.

This documentary is voyeuristic to say the least. I'm letting the viewer witness every part of my life. This will include the humorous, the humiliating, and the incredibly personal parts, during the beginning, middle and end of my extensive surgery for chronic pain, all caught on a collection of different formats.
"Unnecessary Voyeurism" includes personal diaries, videos, 8mm film, hand written notes & blog entries, photographs and Polaroids, all of which will be put together as a show.
