My Word!


A few years back, author Shelley Jackson decided to have one of her short stories "published" by having it tattooed one word at a time on 2000+ people. I am "Even", one of the words in the story. Shelley recently did a video story featuring a number of her "words" each saying their word. She assembled the short clips into a new story. The Berkeley Art Museum is also featuring the video on their website, you can see it here: http://netart.bampfa.berkeley.edu/skin
(I am at 1:00 in the video)
You can read more about the original Skin project here.

Did you choose your word "EVEN" or did your friend choose it for you? Your Auntie Rebecca

We were assigned our words. So I did not get to choose it.
