'Naked women'

Have been developing the multi screen 'Makeup girls' piece, am now in process of filming these women 'naked faced' (without makeup). I am shooting close up, focused just on their unmade faces, filming them looking to camera for 4 minutes (as in Warhols 'Screen tests). They are like moving photographs, tiny movement, blinking, swallowing, tiny twitching eye movements(also see: Gillian wearing '60 minute silence') I'm trying to capture some kind of exposure that may be felt by the woman (just as a successful photograph might), unable to mask herself with her makeup, an emotion, a vulnerability of being filmed, looked at for a period of time longer than that snapshot of a photograph, the uncomfortable gaze, from each woman.
