Head

Posted on Liam

The following is an essay about Head, a video by Cheryl Donegan, written as part of an assignment for a course about media art. The main word I would use to describe Head is ‘arousing’. To me, it feels like a piece of inexplicit porn, meant to sexually stimulate the viewer, especially the heterosexual male viewer. Perhaps that’s the reason why this work is the only one that stuck around in my head out of all the pieces of media art shown in class.  NOTE: The following paragraph contains personal, sexually explicit details. It is not my intention to shock

Perfection

Posted on Liam

I’m tired of seeing all of these unrealistic relationship standards on social media. “The best thing about this life is that I met you” “Me begging my girlfriend to send me pictures of her because she’s just so perfect” I’ve never met anyone perfect. There’s always something you fantasise being different in a person. What if she was a little more adventurous? What if she was less neurotic? What if she had bigger tits? That doesn’t mean she’s not beautiful or a wonderful person, there’s always some kind of beauty. But I’ve never met anyone I felt I could love

I’m an addict and affection is my drug. It’s the only thing that seems to keep the loneliness at bay, at least for a while.

It is a question that has been on my mind a lot recently. Though I am only 24 years of age, I believe I have experienced true love. And I have also lost it. Or rather, I have lost the person I love. Because even though she is no longer in my life, even though I know we cannot be together, I still love her. Whenever I’m alone and drifting through the wind, I think of her.

Californication

Posted on Liam

I love Hollywood. I love what it represents. The debauchery, the corruption of the soul. I am not a clean person and I do not want to be one. I want to be tempted and to give in to those temptations. I want to experience. I want to see the darkest corners of life. I am not a person who accepts life as it is and who seeks tranquility and contentment. I seek excitement, passion, thrill. I seek to be on the fringes of society, living the life others are too afraid to live. There’s always time for enlightenment later.
