Skin Studies is an ongoing long term research project combining fact, fiction, documentary and archive works.
As the largest organ, skin holds our body and mind together, embraces us, and protects us. In Skin Studies, Nina investigates skin, the diversity and similarities, and the relations between skins. From the surface of the earth to under water, humans, fauna, and flora. Present in the mediations are elements of tactility, time, closeness, and silence.
A word, a thought, a touch, or warm or cold sense sensations. Can skin remember? Can skin carry stories?
