Nicky Hamlyn’s The Great Ephemeral Skin (2012) is a 16mm experimental short that reduces the human figure to a mutable landscape of pores, hairs, light flares, and shadows. This paper argues that the film performs a radical phenomenology of touch and vision, challenging classical cinematic representation of the body as a stable, psychological entity. Through fixed-frame extreme close-ups and the absence of narrative, Hamlyn transforms skin into a temporal, fragile membrane. Drawing on Vivian Sobchack’s phenomenology of film experience and Laura U. Marks’ concept of “haptic visuality,” this analysis demonstrates how the film’s materialist aesthetics evoke the viewer’s own corporeal awareness, making ephemerality the very subject of the work. regarding sex and nudity
