Description

"Water,logged" is a 'film-story'; a filmic collaboration with a piece of literature. Who gets access to water? Who gets to make 'political' art? The aural/textual story follows two fictional members of the band Pussy Riot as they visit an art exhibition in Edinburgh. While studying the neatly-displayed jars of water, the women consider the implications of the art in front of them, and of their own creations. The film adaptation mixes voice-over with footage of water sources from Glasgow and the west of Scotland, filmed in autumn 2020 by queer disabled artists. "Water,logged" interrogates connectivity, the deceptive concept of universality, white supremacy, physical access to (clean) water as a source of both pleasure and necessity, the plausibility of true collectivity across power imbalances, and the stickiness of who gets to make 'political' art in a capitalist and classed world. A visual description of the images in this film-story is available as text and audio at http://www.blissfultimes.ca/waterlogged. Multimedia text version: https://locked-world.boptheatre.co.uk...
