The Projection of the True Body / 2022
This short film was created for 'Public Knowledge: A Sinister Assassin', an event dedicated to the final work of seminal theorist and artist Antonin Artaud. It was held at the Camden Art Centre on 8 December 2022.
The film explores one of Artaud’s last drawings ‘The Projection of the True Body’, which illustrates his final preoccupations and obsessions with magic, the battle with evil and the strive for infinity through the creation of the ‘body without organs'.
