Liquid Stranger

2020 · 14 min

A cryptic, stylised short that plays with language and performance, feeling more like an art piece than a story.

Overview
A knife suspended in the air, a PVC trench coat, a slick of red lipstick and multiple stories of murder and obsession all become signifying agents in this camp mash-up of language, narrative and performance.
