Idea of making a scene project

For developing my own idea, I was thinking about making a scene of telling a story about stockholm syndrome. 

Stockholm syndrome is a coping mechanism to a captive or abusive situation. People develop positive feelings toward their captors or abusers over time. This condition applies to situations including child abuse, coach-athlete abuse, relationship abuse and sex trafficking.

I would like to take Nan Goldin's work as reference. The Ballad of Sexual Dependency is a 1985 slide exhibition and 1986 artist book publication of photographs taken between 1979 and 1986 by photographer Nan Goldin.


The photos are captured in intimate moments of love and loss. They experience ecstasy and pain through sex and drug use; they revel at dance clubs and bond with their children at home; and they suffer from domestic violence and the ravages of AIDS.

I really like how she capture the facial or body expression of the actor. I can really feel the sophistication of love in the scene. It is including abuses, pain through sex and drug use. It shows a sick relationship between people but it may commonly happen in our life. A reality has been shown livingly.


Back to my idea of making a scene, I would like to include figure A who is finding a pillow and think everything looks perfect because he is looking at figure B who is holding the pillow and crying behind the bedroom room . Figure B is the one who is abused by figure A . However, He/she has Stockholm syndrome so he/she come back to figure A. There is a third figure C who love figure B so much. He/she is really disappointed about figure B come back to figure A.

I would also like the lighting come through a window and shows a warm colour tone . As warm colour can shows complicated love between those figures. I would also do some make up on figure B that shows he/she is being abused with scars or bloods on his/her body.
