Nurses

‘Nurses’ 2019 brings together research around the close readings of bodies in relation to diagnostic narratives, queer reproduction and pleasure. Within it the creation, distribution and ability to access bodily knowledge is examined in relation to the inequitable availability of technology and community. The work is not an argument but a set of stories and tones -the sociopathic CEO leveraging the single drop of blood as oracle, a site on which orgasm sounds are shared and discussed, the monitoring of cervical and ocular mucous, a body coded as infertile or aroused. A sickness of now, a cure of now, and a pleasure of now too are understood via bodily image production, projections and interpretations.The work attempts via erotics and anger, to understand how politics and pleasure need each other.

The work comes out of a 6 month residency with Berwick Film and Media Arts Festival in 2018
