The immersive installation, ‘Follow Me Inside My Head’ invites the spectator to observe the process of nine short statements being tattooed onto nine human canvases. The statements originate from Monty Von Richthofen‘s notebooks, and were chosen by participants of the project. In the post-production process, footage of the previously unrelated statements was stitched together to form a poem which plays on a loop. The spectator is fully immersed by watching the film through the face-hole of a modified tattoo bench, smelling the disinfectant, touching the leather and listening to the sounds created by Florian Kupfer — a similar state of relaxation as experienced by the subjects that were tattooed.
