GIVE ME AN ASSIGNMENT #02 / TORPEN
Hi you! I just received my second assignment for my ongoing personal project called GIVE ME AN ASSIGNMENT. You don’t know what GIVE ME AN ASSIGNMENT is? It is an ongoing personal project I’ve invented to ask my favorite creatives/people to give me an assignment. And it is an open call for anyone to join in and do the assignment with me : ) You can read up this post for more information.
So let me introduce you the second assignment giver,Torpen. He is an artist, a graffiti writer and a friend from Brest, France. We are in a same crew called Morderne Jazz and often paint on walls together. He is one of my favorite graffiti writers, and I have learned and continue to learn a lot from him.
I’m very happy that he gave me (us) an assignment. A very interesting one.

Voilà my proposition, three assertions, in three steps to my assignment:
In the whole World, in a lot of cultures we find practices of second skin, disguise, costume, in ceremonial ways, parties or even in daily life. It can be made and used in folk events, pop events or in personal or marginal ways, not always accept by the mass people.
Definitely more than me you are (by your education and life, and so by your senses and minds) at the crossroads of several cultures, from America, Asia, Europe (here I don’t want to generalise a culture to its whole continent, but you know).
Definitely you are smaller than me by the size*, today you are perhaps one head below me. * Sure, I’m not the only one, you are not the only one.
I would like you to think of a way, by costume, to become one head over me at the end.
