May Ling Su

Have you ever wished you were a cartoon? I have… This is my surreal journey into being a two-dimensional star made of pixels and light.

It all begins in three-dimensions - my physical body in time and space. Through cameras I am flattened into two dimensions, on your computer monitor, bedroom television, and soon printed on glossy video boxes mass produced worldwide. In 2d, I am able to share myself with more people than I ever can in 3d. There’s also an issue of control. My dreams don’t always come true in 3d, but I’m the goddess of my two-dimensional world. Sometimes I think I’m more comfortable here.

Kurt Vonnegut called mirrors “leaks” into another world. My image pulls my attention, takes me far into myself, into the infinite world of ideas. Cameras are mirrors, preserving moments into products that live if not forever, at least with a relatively longer shelf life than my physical body. The camera is a necromancer, the agent through which the dead comes back to life.

Below you’ll find a photograph taken of my ancestors, the pre-colonial malaya (free) people who, centuries later, have found their way to live in my consciousness and now in yours. I welcome you to my two-dimensional world. I hope you enjoy entering it as much as I enjoyed creating it.

I love sex toys! Jay and I went to Good Vibrations in Berkeley. Weeeee! Here’s what I got:

• Natacha Merritt’s Digital Diaries - beautiful photographs, great book, her handheld self-portraits inspire me… Jay and I had this little Casio that swivels the LCD so we can take photos of ourselves while having sex. He’d hold the camera way up in the air so you can see in levels his face, then his torso, his cock, and at the end of it, my face. Most video cameras have the swivel screen LCD monitors, too. The Picnic, from my Fetish Collection video, was shot by my man and me, passing the camera to each other. I loved holding the camera between my legs as he pummels my ass, my eyes focused on the little monitor showing the curves of my cheeks, the white sunlight peeping in between thrusts of a cock in an ass, then the delicate folds of an empty pussy, pink and wet. I lose myself in these images. Jay and I have been documenting our most intimate moments for as long as we’ve been married. Five years! Have I gone off on a tangent here? =(^..^)= Next thing I bought…
• Mint green dildo shaped like a gourd - will match the jade gourd pendant I inherited from my grandmother.
• Black and white marble-pattern double cock dildo. It’s got two cocks, one smaller and curved, the other long, thick and straight. After experimenting with it, I found that the smaller curved cock is perfect for anal pleasure, and the long straight cock is for my pussy.
• A candy-apple red sparkly harness - to add to my devil girl accoutrements.
