prosopagnosia isso i taught myself to memorise faces
d i a g r a m a t i c a l l y
like beautiful wireframe sculptures

the tilt of a chin
the meeting of lips
the curve of eyelashes sweeping a blink
the angles of hairline-browbone-cheekbone-jaw

my own reflection
a formula wrapped in dysmorphia
painted on canvas scrolls and carved into stone

the mirror is a biblical master
a vengeful god

but a photograph
is hearing my name whispered
in a language that was excised from my mind
by a quiet stranger who follows me

always arms-length behind

This is My Personal Nightmare
For more information about the My Personal Nightmare horror photography art challenge, please visit this news article.

Recent health problems and a coctail of medication has left me having some really strange and violent dreams of teeth falling out, fingers dropping off, suffocation, eyeballs exploding and other such unpleasantness. On the upside, I've been feeling very creative lately and have enjoyed the rather cathartic experience of exorcising the demons of my nightmares with photography.

Obviously all blood here is fake

The four photographs in this set are meant to be seen as a collection, together, all at once.

What do you use instead of blood?

~Barchielhail Aug 17, 2009

As amazing and inspiring as it is creepy and scary. I love the whole layout and execution of this shot. The low contrast and limit in color add to the feel of the piece.

`RockstarVanity Sep 1, 2009 Professional Photographer

Thank you

~kittycat-o Aug 17, 2009

Really nice set, very pain-nightmarish feeling in it. I really like the colour tones used in it too.

I especially like this one because of the steel vs the cotton just gives me this pain feeling somehow. I don't know why really

`RockstarVanity Sep 1, 2009 Professional Photographer

Thanks very much

I love plugholes, like in an aesthetic way. I'm not sure why...they just look good.

This one has got to be my favourite.
As a standalone thing it's horrifying and mysterious.
I love how they all work together so well, though. Like snapping to different parts of the body really fast and erratically like what happens in horror movies.

Thank you! I LOVE what you said about snapping to different body parts really fast like in horror movies

The bloody Q-tips are an interesting addition!

`RockstarVanity Aug 22, 2009 Professional Photographer

They had been used to apply 'blood' to the bandages on my hand and face, so I thought they deserved to be included in the photo

`Xerces Aug 14, 2009 Professional Artisan Crafter

a rather gruesome feel to it. it reminds me of a teacloth that Geoff used to mop up blood when he cut his finger open. so much blood and bandage here- and the plug hole gives more of a dark feel to it.
