An audio/ video, lecture/ performance exploring the queer and companionly inter-activity of human-animal relations.

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.

Black Boned Angel’s is a rock sound, stripped of all extraneous detail right down to its core, stretched out and nailed to the ceiling.
A tour with John Butcher and Akio Suzuki that set out to allow the audience to experience (and to listen to) the enviroment around them in different way.
Investigating the border between the audible and the visible means looking at the margins, the edges of creativity where artists test out new boundaries and define them anew.
