Shelly Jackson's Skin Project is an attempt to write a book that only exists on people's skin and not on paper. A deconstruction worthy of Umberto Ecco. A living text.
Each person is given one word to tattoo on any part of their body; however, if your word is a body part you can't have it on the body part that it mentions. The completed text will only be given to people who volunteered to participate. Quite a limited run.
She says she is trying not to reify humans but turn words into subjects. Not dehumanizing people but humanizing words.
She says she will attend the words funerals(.)
