    gravedigger/earthswallower
    looping audio-video installation
    00:03:23
    2022     cruising spot, glory hole, graveyard, archive– somewhere in a place without a name, strangers exchange histories of dirt and fluids and flesh.

    working in dualities of burial/disinterment, voyeurism/exhibitionism, shame/desire, this video-installation work explores feelings of disorientation, longing, and loss through an aesthetics of queer gothicism.

    stills from the video component of this work can be found in cephalophore #2, mastodon.
