Vis à Vis

Directed by Abigail Child

Inspired by Vertov’s Lullaby from the 1930s, as well as by Warhol’s Screen Test portraits and Frampton’s Manual of Arms from the 1960s, vis à vis constructs black and white portraits into a set of Romances, a notebook of sexualities: s/m, lesbian, gay, straight, solo. The piece celebrates friends and divergent (d)alliances. Out of the past comes a vision of the future as a set of erotic possibilities.
