The mutability of the body and the mobility of identity: queered pop culture, drag, lip-sync and performance.
Work that focuses in on the static hiss and background noise of recording and pushes it to the fore.
Brother and sister stumble over the early morning horizon in a spectral haze of emotionally devastating lunar vocals and oblique, lithium-soaked folk.
A film performance about Guy then, and Guy now, as a metaphor for the passing of time, which of course all film is inherently about.
Edinburgh. Beer and smoke befuddled drone/ deadly efforts by Pjorn72 kingpin.
