Not only is the video piece incredibly inspiring, thought provoking and touching; but these posters and further graphics I found promoting the 'Broken Reality Tunnel' raising BDD awareness, capture perfectly and simplistically the nature of this condition in a condensed visual sense. The use of the image distortion mirrors the phycological mind play that one suffering experiences when looking at themselves, in order for us to see what Leigh de Vris sees, Shaune Harrison has to spend months creating a prosthetic she wears on her face through the duration of the video.
During this trailer for the film all you see is people's reaction which is unsettling as it shows every single head turn in slow motion, and fixate on the physical form. Ironically Leigh found it a relief, showing what she feels is her face to the public proves to them what she believes she is a "monster", BDD sufferers do not agree with any compliments given, rather they spend their lives trying o convince others of their 'hideous' disposition.
