Coco Villa - Chapter One
Baby Coco Villa (1995)
CHAPTER ONE
So, what’s my plan for this Fellowship?
Well,
I intend to dance.
To photograph and film the habit of movement mostly concerning the Spiritual in art.
I intend to sing.
To photograph and film a quiet rebellion. It looks like humming and talking to myself.
I intend to sew.
To photograph and film new imaginings of garments made by my mother’s and her mother’s and her mother’s hands.
I intend to recreate.
To photograph and film familial practices that were neither documented nor celebrated, rather, shared through word of mouth and performed together habitually.
I intend to play.
To photograph and film the revolutionary act of reveling in self pleasure.
besos,
coco
