Skin impression from Ariana Page RussellAriana Page Russell’s “Skin Two” is a collection of photographs where she draws patterns in her skin. It looks really painful, but as she explains, it’s just because she has dermatographia, “a condition in which one’s immune system exhibits hypersensitivity, via skin, that releases excessive amounts of histamine, causing capillaries to dilate and welts to appear (lasting about thirty minutes) when the skin’s surface is lightly scratched.” Apparently, it’s painless. via Chloe Rote
