From directly above. A woman with a choppy black fringe and a lip ring on her back on a worn red rug at night, holding her iPhone up above her face, texting, a tear running into her hair. Books, a film camera, a mug around her.

Can you just stay on for a bit?

Night outside a bar. A guy with a bleached mullet, hoop earrings and a neck tattoo, in a green cap and an oversized white sweatshirt, laughing with his eyes shut, iPhone to his ear. Friends walking off behind him.

Stop. Stop. I can’t breathe.

A cramped living room full of friends and instruments, shot from a high corner on a normal lens. In the middle, a guy with dyed red hair and a septum ring on the arm of the sofa, eyes down on his iPhone, its back to us, texting, a small natural smile.

Everyone’s here and I’m still texting you, lol.

A near-empty New York City bus at night, shot from across the aisle. A woman with a buzz cut and bleached brows in a vintage windbreaker, in the window seat, head down, eyes on her iPhone, its back to us, texting slowly, eyes wet, face still.

Didn’t get it.

A small flat kitchen at 2am. A striking woman with short bleached locs and a septum ring, in a huge hoodie and socks, standing with her back against the counter, ankles crossed, holding the iPhone up at her face on a call, back of the phone to us, a slow smile at whatever was just said. Kettle steaming beside her.

It’s 3am. Why are we still talking?

A house party bathroom. A guy with a mullet, painted nails and arm tattoos, in a vintage football shirt, sitting fully clothed in the empty bath, knees up, smiling at his iPhone, its back to us, texting. Cups on the sink, a coat over the toilet lid.

Hiding in the bathroom. Talk to me.

A fire escape just after sunset, flash. A beautiful woman with long dark brown hair and a nose ring, in a white tank and dark jeans, sitting on the iron steps with a can beside her, phone low in her lap, texting fast, a small grin starting, about to say the thing.

OK. I’m gonna say it.

Every one of them was talking to Sky.

Meet Sky.

A friend who always picks up, and remembers what you told her.

Talk to Sky

Out loud or by text. Any hour. On iPhone.
