Talks, Script: Matt Godfrey
This video installation reflects female perspectives on sex through a series of conversations between three women. Each one of the four conversations explores frank sexual ideas, attitudes, practices and preferences between three girlfriends in everyday situations, yet the pieces were all written by a man. There are no images accompanying the conversations to enhance the gap experienced between what is written and what is said. Voices: Beatrice Catanzaro, Catha Knuth, Patricia Craveiro Lopes.
Dj Norman will be spining fat tunes.
