Taboo of Dirt
Directed by Martyn Pick
A series of metamorphosing images criticise a society in which dulled minds feed on tabloid scandal. Focuses on the 'shapeless workers fuelling the fires with the bodies of their own kind'. As the workers seek sexual release, the muddy pictures give way to line drawings of the erotic landscape: curves, valleys and mounds becoming the sexual act itself, are whipped up into a charcoal frenzy of chaotic abstract images of frustration. The end brings release and a return to calm.
