Self-Portraits (1993)
Directed by Bobby Abate2m
In 1993-1994, when I was in art school, I felt like an outsider amongst outsiders. I was queer, but there were so few out queer people around me. I felt like I had no identity, so I started to obsessively do a numbered series of self portrait sketches in black pen to explore different personalities and aspects of myself. They range from fantastical to completely absurd. At some point, I started to dress up at these characters film myself using my family's old Sears VHS camera that I rescued from the garbage.
