MOCA Focus
Mathias Vef


I Do Me
2012
music by Gesaffelstein

“They decorate the body but they also enhance the soul.”
Michelle Delio on Tattoos

I started working with people who modify their body around 2011 and with this video I tried to get closer to their skin. The crafted skin is a powerful communication, it is a tool to be. It is something beyond the visual, it is celebration.  To me that happens in the subculture of clubs. In those spaces I find my models and my inspiration. This video work is a culmination of all that, the inspiration, the celebration. I choose it for MOCA Focus because this subculture has disappeared right now. The spaces are gone and no one knows what will survive this crisis.
