  • Manholes (Brian)

    The “Manholes” series takes a pan of a single male figure and fragments it into a grid of peepholes. The microscopic mapping of the body is intimate yet clinical. The cascading body parts create a kaleidoscope of changing skin tones. It is difficult to find the point of origin on the subject’s body, though occasionally signifiers make it possible; an eye, a nipple or the toes suddenly orient the viewer. The quiet audio combines electric currents, rushing water and vocals that mimic the visual energy and its meditative quality. “Manholes (Brian)” is a looped installation, but it is also available…

  • Milkman & Milk Bath

    In “Milkman”, a seated male figure sits staring endlessly ahead, his gaze locked on the viewer. Milk is streaming from his nipple and into a glass that he holds in his left hand. The continuous flow of milk never seems to fill the glass. The sound of the flowing milk creates a human fountain out of this portrait. In “Milk Bath” a man’s face sits like an island in the middle of a pool of milk. His facial hair slowly grows then disappears, the left side independent of the right. In the same fashion, his eyes are adorned with make-up,…

  • Do I Belong?

    “Do I Belong?” is singer/songwriter Joel Gibb’s latest visualization for The Hidden Cameras’ pop song by the same name. In the spirit of DIY low budget filmmaking, “Do I Belong?” choreographs numerous scenes into one whimsical take. The shot culminates into psychedelic mayhem, where Gibb finds himself at the mercy of a mob of queer characters, many of whom are Toronto-based perennial favs (featuring artists Regina the Gentlelady, Luis Jacob, and Andrew James Paterson, among others).
