Princess; peepshow fictions

By Sarah Spanton 2006

Sarah Spanton

A video work initially conceived as a cross-disciplinary experiment with a found text and improvised movement on camera. Like a character from a deranged children's story, Princess tells a tale of the hyena who went to the ball. Skipping gleefully around moments of pure horror, she reveals a little bit more with each sashay, in a space that is part nursery, part porn cinema.
