A Northern Kentucky University art student got creative in downtown Cincinnati this week.
Clad in skimpy sportswear, she asked strangers to write secrets and confessions on her half-naked body with a black marker.
She laid on a towel with a blindfold over her eyes and a big yellow sign next to her that read: “WRITE ON ME! Write your secrets, confessions or anything on your mind. Free yourself.”
It was accompanied by a lot of exclamation points and a peace symbol.
The performance artist was identified as Northern Kentucky University student Elani Sininger, 18, by WCPO/ABC, which quoted the young woman as saying “I wanted people to come and write their secrets, or something they’ve been keeping bottled inside of them, something they just wanted to release. Let them write it on my body and then just walk away and release all of their negative energy with me.”
“… It was so liberating — I had no idea what was going on around me and then having someone come up and write their feelings on me is the most liberating feeling that I’ve felt.”
People ended up writing some pretty interesting stuff. WCPO reports:
On her chest someone wrote, ‘I’m gay and my dad doesn’t know.’ Another confessed a case of alcoholism. On one of her feet read a note that said, ‘I like feet’ and inside one knee someone wrote, ‘Good luck.’ Others weren’t as kind. One person wrote, ‘weirdo.’
A video the news station took of the young lady also showed that someone wrote “666” on her upper right leg. Creepy.
By the way, there’s no indication the project was part of an assignment of any sort.
