Illustrated man

Bent Staalhøj, Denmark, 1995

26 min.DK/Documentary

A modern video fairy-tale about the body as a canvas for tatooings in B/W and colours as if they had been painted by Rouault, El Greco and Picasso. A nightmarish dream and voyage towards a space ship and eternity. An escape away from the intense pain and into a lifelong change of identity which is the only thing about one's appearance chosen by oneself. A tale about overcoming one's prejudices.
