Self-Portrait: Dennis Hopper is the pilot of a series I developed with Dennis. We met in Los Angeles after an opening of my productions, the Robert Wilson Video Portraits, and he expressed a desire to do portraits in video as well. He had strong ideas about extending his vérité photographic style into motion – the results would have been as groundbreaking as Bob Wilson’s. We completed one piece, an autobiography produced in his home studio. In it Dennis recites the Rudyard Kipling poem, If, and it gives deep insight into how Dennis saw himself.

definitely one of my most difficult project, the idea was just too interesting to not give it a try
————————————————–

the approach

It is next to impossible to focus on two things simultaneously, it is however, possible to always keep both hands moving…

I make sure one hand knows how and where to move for the next few strokes while I focus on the other hand, Basically rapidly switching attention between the two. Most times when one of my hand is about to draw something difficult like a specific curve, i would move my other hand to draw something simple like filling an area with shade that needs repetitive strokes. This way I manage to keep both hands moving while alternating focusing on each hand in rapid succession. (for example when i was drawing Morgan freeman’s mouth with my left, i move my right hand to draw the Tim’s hair since it requires much less attention and accuracy, in fact for most the video when one hand is doing something defining the other is doing shading )

This approach allow me to finish two portraits in way less time than the time I would spent drawing two consecutive portraits with my dominant hand… the process is very tiring, after a hour of constantly switching attention I do feel a little crazy..
