Two Single Beds

Synopsis

Doncaster, South Yorkshire, a dead-end comedy night is underway. It’s a long way from London and miles from home for Jay and June, two comedians amongst the line-up. Sometimes June screws men because she wants a ‘hug’ and Jay, well Jay ‘hates your babies.’ Strangers at this point they find refuge in each other’s company.

A dog in a crudely made fox costume is sat being fed by a yellow marigold glove on the end of a wooden pole. A Skulk in London

Director: Polina Chizhova, James Stephen Wright

Year: 2018

The work “A Skulk in London” explores the human projections onto animal life from a satirical perspective. Its aim is research the life of urban foxes amid the Anthropocene environment of central London and the mythologies surrounding them to highlight the human tendency of understanding and perpetually interpreting the natural world limited by the point of view of “man”. The main character is a city man who becomes fascinated with finding nature in the city and is following urban foxes to fulfil his dream of wilderness. The character lives in a world of fantasy and does not consider the perspective and agency of urban wildlife. His obsession is so blinding and absorbing that he doesn’t realise that the fox he finds is, in fact, a dog in a costume.
