Shani, Tai, 2023, Show, Exhibition or Event, My bodily remains: Art Night Dundee

Abstract or Description:

My Bodily Remains, Your Bodily Remains, And All The Bodily Remains That Ever Were, And Ever Will Be is a fantastical series of filmic tableaux drawing from various genres ranging from horror to technicolour cinematic dreams. The work features four protagonists: two characters called ‘Them who Love’, whose relationship is unclear, and who speak of love in a profound, epic, almost spiritual way; ‘The Ghost for Revolution’, who recounts somatic histories of fascism, and ‘The Reader of The Book of Love’ who reads historical quotes from individuals or groups that were involved in non non-violent action. The film is a poetic meditation on various historical resistance movements and groups, the spiritual dimensions of anti-supremacism, intersectional queer feminism, communism and revolutionary thinking to recognise the emancipatory power of love and pleasure as a catalyst for radical change. My Bodily Remains… features an original score composed by Maxwell Sterling and Richard Fearless (Death in Vegas) alongside digital animations by Adam Sinclair. A Co-Commission for Art Night, CAC Cincinnati, KM21 and POR:TA. With additional support from Luminous Foundation. Developed in collaboration with The Southbank Centre, London. Supported using public funding by Creative Scotland, the Henry Moore Foundation, and Museum of London with support from Arts Council England.
