Skin presents a dynamic performance by Meg Harper, a dancer whose affiliation with the Merce Cunningham Dance Company dates to the 1960s. Close-ups of Harper’s creased and scarred skin highlight how time is etched onto the body. The suggestion that memory is both a mental and physical imprint is further emphasized by the appearance of emotive passages from Robert Glück’s book About Ed (2023), which recounts his partnership and friendship with the artist Ed Aulerich-Sugai during Ed’s physical decline and death from AIDS-related illness.

This movie chronicles the life and times of R. Crumb. Robert Crumb is the cartoonist/artist who drew Keep On Truckin', Fritz the Cat, and played a major pioneering role in the genesis of underground comix. Through interviews with his mother, two brothers, wife, ex-wife and ex-girlfriends, as well as selections from his vast quantity of graphic art, we are treated to a darkly comic ride through one man's subconscious mind.
