Crying Men is a series of photographic portraits of famous film actors. Sam Taylor-Wood makes portraits of them as actors, she shoots them in role, asking each to perform and cry for the camera. She looks explores societies perception of what is masculine.
Although this is not a video it still relates to the pice of work I did 'The Come Down of Loosing'. She is exploring emotions and emotions which we don't normally see, something very personal and private. This is exactly what I did when I made my video. The difference between my work and hers is that she used actors to act out an emotion, whereas I used a real-life situation, they were authentic tears and emotions.
This has given me an idea to as well as displaying 'The come down of loosing' video inside a kit bag, I could also get some video stills showing the emotion in Milo's face and display them in my space. I would print the images very small, to show his vulnerability, like how I am Displaying the video.
