Experiencing Flesh is a website designed to explore the physicality of flesh in a virtual format. Using different mediums to try to establish a

Encouraging audiences to acknowledge "flesh" objectively, and to interact with the idea of it.

What is Flesh?

Flesh is the material made of muscles and fat that resides between the skin and bones within human and animal life.

Flesh. Say the word. What does it sound like? Imagine flesh. What does it look like? Touch Flesh. What does it feel like? Flesh.

How to experience flesh:

Find an area of flesh.
Use a finger to stroke the exposed area of flesh.
Then use two fingers to stroke the area.
Stroke the flesh slowly. How does it feel?
You are now experiencing flesh.

My Left Palm

Using my middle finger I stoke the palm of my hand that it is attached to. I do not look at my hand whilst I do this. The skin is tight and wrinkled. It feels sticky, the finger doesn’t glide over the skin- instead it jitters and drags. A slight hardness from the nail touches the palm as the finger curls inwards. Over and over I stroke the area; it feels less and less like the flesh belongs to me. It begins to tingle and warm. My thumb starts to ache: forced to be stretched in an unnatural position whilst my finger explores the space. I press harder to experience the act from my fingers points of view. I feel the scratch but the tingle becomes indistinguishable between the subject and the recipient. There becomes a joint pins and needles, in which the only thing that is felt is the drag on the surface, and the flexing of tendons in surrounding areas to what is participating in the action. The skin on skin no longer feels like skin, it becomes mechanical material.

How to experience living flesh:

Place your hands on your belly.
Breathe in for 5 seconds.
Breathe out for 5 seconds.
Repeat the process until you are fully aware that you are living flesh.

My Right Cheek

With the back of my hand I touch my cheek. It is so soft and so warm; it feels clean and perfect, smooth and pretty. I do not need to see my cheek to know how it feels. I now use my tongue to feel the inside of my cheek. It is soft but not in the same way. I can feel teeny tiny ridges, like furry fuzz, but slimy. Not slimy wet. My tongue slides off the wall of my cheek, the wall is curved, muscles inside determine its contours. My tongue aches from being held in the cheek punching position. It starts to hurt my jaw, as if it’s going to pop out. The cheek that is being pressed also starts to hurt, the flesh is being pushed out of its comfort zone. The longer this action takes place the more my tongue starts to itch. The inside of my cheek is relatively warm, I can picture it a dark red. The immediate pressure point on the cheek is like latex, slightly rubbery or plastic-like, whilst the surrounding areas are foamy. Using my fingers on the outside of my cheek, I feel the itchy tongue pressing on the soft skin. It is strong and hard, the flesh manoeuvres stretchily over the tongue. It feels like a robust eye ball, with a thick eyelid over the top.

How to see flesh:

Find a reflective surface, e.g. a mirror.
Look at your face in the surface.
Examine every aspect of yourself for 10 minutes.
This is what flesh looks like, you are flesh.

FEEL YOUR FLESH

Crossed Legs

My legs are crossed at the ankles. Thinking about the heated skin on skin, I begin to notice the weight pressing on my right ankle. I feel as though my legs are being stretched, stretched at the ankles pulling my feet off. Simmering my toes and tearing my thighs and knees.

In order to experience flesh fully, there is no real way to do it all in one go. Ideas can be gathered and simulations can be made; but without full body acknowledgement, psychological awareness, and first hand touching of flesh- one cannot completely experience flesh and understand what it is to be flesh.
