Dysmorphia
Film, 2021
This digital theatre presentation was a semi-autobiographical exploration of Vic's battle with Body Dysmorphic Disorder, a mental health condition where a person spends a lot of time worrying about flaws in their appearance. This condition is most common in teenagers and young adults as a response to the overemphasis of, and increasingly unrealistic expectations placed on physical appearances in a hyper-visual world. ​ Vic and filmmaker Sean Harrison collaborated on this project and played with green screens, caricatures, filters and face swaps. The result is an off-kilter, uncomfortable discussion about the realities of a young woman's struggle, and how one's best friend and worst enemy come from the same place––the mind.
