Grotesque, Digital Video Installation, 2007

Grotesque is a video installation, currently consisting of three heads projected onto three different walls so the viewer is surrounded by the gurning faces. My interest in the similarity between the medieval grotesque body and the erotised body led me to make this repulsive set of prostitutes, or seductive set of gurners. These multilayered two bodies in one is mainly meant to be humorous because of the sense of unease they create rather than to counter to it, as well as through the simplicity of the humour, the age old pulling faces. Some of the stills included here are some outtakes which were never used, though the film may be developed into an epic, having many more faces to increase the intensity.
