Shelley Jackson: Skin [1]

Submitted by klarimer on March 9, 2011 - 8:40am

The "mortal work of art," as Shelley Jackson called her 2003 story "Skin," each word of which has been tatooed on the skin of over two thousand volunteers, has found new form in this clip. The author recently asked her original volunteers [2] to record a video of their word tattoo. She then edited the word videos together to create a new story for the Berkeley Art Museum.
