Genius Annotation

Screenager is a modern teenager being brought up by the screen who develops a distorted image of their body because of pictures in magazines and because technology is rejecting the physical bodies we live in. It’s also a bit about people who cut themselves because I used to have friends who did it and I didn’t know why. I tried to grasp that it’s needing something quite brutal to remind you what your body’s about
