coming out video(s), 2019

caption written at the time of making:

this video has been a long time coming, and was eventually made out of various failed attempts at the video.

some videos were too sad, some were too vague, and some were just a bit too weird.

I was aiming to create a minute-long video which was part of the reason there is so much footage crammed in, but I also did this to show the overwhelming mix of emotions about all of this and the context in which identifying as asexual and aromantic has found itself for me.

so yeah, I'm asexual and aromantic, i found a tumblr post form 2014 in which I very casually refer to myself with those labels but since then things have changed and this coming out has been a lot harder, I don't want to get all deep about it but yeah, it's been bothering me a long time and in retrospect has been seeping out in my work for a while (in particular the 'Bend It' performances)
