Bathing Boxes

1995 · 4 min

A sun-drenched, wordless mood piece that drifts from heat to cool sensuality, feeling like a painting come briefly, teasingly alive.

Directed by
Ann Turner
Starring
Heather Mitchell, Frances O'Connor, Karin Altmann
Overview
The ebb and flow of erotic desire makes for a summertime splash in this vibrant realisation by Ann Turner. Inspired by a Jeffrey Smart painting, Turner's work starts out baking in the sun before it takes a cool dip beyond the sexual shoreline.
