YouTube Tuesday: Ritual

This week's installment of youtube Tuesday is from paperlillies, a young British woman. This video is a sped-up clip of her putting on and then taking off heavy makeup, inspired to try a geisha-type look by Memoirs of a Geisha.

There is something oddly compelling, and even more oddly, relaxing about this short video. Perhaps it's the music. Somehow, the sped-up motion doesn't feel cartoony, as fast motion video often does. But it ends up being a fascinating peek inside another's world, a tiny slice of life that reveals nothing, per se, but somehow the viewer comes away with something. An amazing little piece of work. Enjoy . . .
