It’s not a performance it’s a lecture. A lecture about the bodies of people in hell and collective bodies in hell, the bodies of imprisoned gods, what animals these bodies encounter and the strange collective names of those animals and the animals that don’t have collective names, what these animals do in ultra-violet light and what they do to people who make cruel boasts.

Part lecture, part lullaby, a performance inspired by my obsessions with stories of hell, the collective names of animals, the rumoured attraction between milk and fresh liver and my pet scorpion’s ability to turn florescent green in ultraviolet light. A piece that examines how information has a performative quality by linking together a time-lapse video experiment, an insect that glows and fragments of bizarre information that connect The Norse god Loki, Christ and the American gangster John Dillinger together in the form of a lecture. This performance is not suitable for people with a fear of insects.

Performed at EEC London 2002
