Artist’s film: Dirty Bottom 2015-2016

Dirty Bottom explores the hidden world of the underside of a Series 3 Landrover in the city of London. The film is filthy. It is. The filthy underside however has its appeal. Both dirty and shiny it is a place of contradiction. Everyone expects a man in overalls to be greasy don't they ? especially when stopping to ‘fix’ a problem along the way. The thing is, the problem is not what it seems. The film takes beauty-mirrors and the world of the clean, down-under, so to speak, in order to rethink the beauty in the abject. Exploring concepts of embodied space, queer space and gender expectation, Dirty Bottom is part formal, part playful and part performative. Things are not quite what they seem.
