\u201cI Am Down Here With the Boogens After All\u201d \u2013 Ed Steck
\nA self-portrait is a reflection.<\/p>\n

A self-portrait is a reflection: materials constructing images, sensations structuring
\narchitectural moments (definitive personal modulations), chronological impertinences,
\nyourself creating your self, a frozen practice of an accumulative entirety until a singular
\npoint, the expression before the potential atmospheric capsizing. It is a resolution of the
\nself-encapsulated within the frames of an image; it is how one is seen while seeing.
\n\u201cI Am Down Here With the Boogens After All\u201d is a day-book-like piece of self-portraiture
\nthat follows the perspective intake of an individual (a subject, a viewer) constantly
\nabsorbing material references. It is a moment of loss fixated on the repetitious revisiting of
\nthe mundane, the familiar, and sensational: misremembered memory to personal insertions
\ninto film, entering the fixed present to relive a cultivated past, and human grotesqueness to
\nexaggerated special effects.
\nA self-portrait is a manufacturing of a self-portrait.
\nEd Steck is a writer from Southwestern Pennsylvania. He currently lives in Pittsburgh, PA.
