The Via Crucis of
Camille - Crux 1 - Page 11

While Leticia was getting the
whip, her servant found compassion in a soldier. The man took
his flask of water and raised it to her lips. The woman felt
the cold liquid drip into her mouth slowly. Her body reacted,
she pushed herself painfully to reach the tip of the flask,
to drink more of the precious liquid she was craving for.
Her efforts were testing her
capacity, she had been put to the test and passed.
She passed when she resisted
the rack and the whip, she passed when the hot irons were
applied to her breasts and vagina, she passed when the hot
oil was poured over her breast.
Unfortunately her body, pushed
to the limits, reacted and her violent shaking broke her
wrists and ankles.
That she did not resist.
But she resisted again when she
was made to walk on her knees over the burning path to her
crucifixion. |

The soldiers were laughing and
betting with each other as she moved, one step at a time,
over the burning coals, falling at the second or third step,
only to raised herself again to continue the painful journey.
On the third fall her strength
was abandoning her, she could hardly raise herself even
as the burning coals were eating her flesh. She fell on
her belly, her legs stretched out and she could no longer
retrieve them to raise herself. She had only two options
as the whip fell on her back.
She could stay put and suffer
for as long as they felt she should, or try to move on her
belly, with the aid of her legs, until she was out of the
burning trail.
She opted for the second. She
moved pushing one leg as much as she could, since her legs
were still chained together, and pushed her body an inch
at a time. |

In this manner, Leticia's servant
snaked through slowly, burning her flesh in the process, moving
as a snake but at the speed of a turtle, her legs pushing
her a little at a time, and with every move she found fresh
hot coals to burn into her.
She held her head up, keeping
her face from burning and her eyes fixed on the post. It
looked so far, so terrible far.
The soldiers screaming and prodding
her as if they were in the middle of a sporting event, betting
for or against her. Some pushing her with their lances,
The whip falling on her back.
A feast of cruelty that had
gone beyond any control.
Even the curious onlookers were
participating with their screams and prods.
The woman moved slowly, growing
weaker, her pain taking away her resolve and energy, the
burning coals and ashes under her body.
She then felt a burning sensation
on her back, it was not the whip.

During Camille's scourging I made some pauses some times
to change the angle or focus of the camera and other times
just to see her.
It was during these moments that Camille seemed to be absorbing
more of her role. She had learned to never come out of character.
To use as much of her real suffering to bring depth to the
suffering of her character.
It was in these moments of pause that I could
tell her a bit of the story she was living, then I could
give her some instructions or some criticism, but mostly
praises for a great performance.
That's when I could tell her that she was never
so beautiful as she was at that moment.
It took a while for her to understand this view.
How could she look beautiful while suffering.
Where was the beauty in that?. |

I took the camera to weave by her body from her
struggling feet painfully leaning on the sharp wooden support,
pass by her legs and belly up to her wounded breasts and all
the way to her face. She felt the kiss
of the lens as it explore her. She was very well acquainted
with the lens and the lens loved her terribly.
Her features were a feast for the craving lens.
The light, even the indirect light of the lamps I
devised for the moment were her best friends.
Her forms were made perfect with the subtle lens focusing
on her tight skin.
She was simultaneously hard and soft to the touch.
Her breasts were firm and the lens captured that.
My mouth was clamoring for her tongue while my
entire body wanted to swallow her up while entering her
to the depths of her warm and juicy cave. |
