Digital Video. 20:00<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I can fit a fist in my mouth is a video work commissioned by Cubitt gallery for the 2024 exhibition of the same name. The video centres around a group of people, with whom I hold varying forms and degrees of intimacy, to audio-describe a series of vignettes, gestures, and brief moments. These have been drawn from a personal archive of footage of family members, ex-partners, lovers, and friends. This is edited with a range of footage exploring forms of interpersonal violence, moments of hiding and revealing, highlighting the ethics of working with personal moments in video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sound for the video was developed in dialogue with, and by sound designer Claude Nouk, several people known to the artist were invited to act as audio describers, and guidance on access and audio description was gratefully received by Mathew from Elaine Joseph (SoundScribe)<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
