then enthusiastic support.

 

FRANCIS SUMMERS
undo unlove

 


Bringing together a plunderphonic ensemble of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, How To Lose a Guy in 10 Days and reams of publicity photographs, Undo Unlove is a parasitic recycling engine generating an environment where aspirational images and sensorial affect converge to produce a zone of deferred expectation mixed with associative ambience - a simultaneously banal and intense experiential space.
Decomposing and recomposing appropriated material in a process of obsessional micro-editting and bargain basement pseudo-stalker aesthetics, Undo Unlove is a modular work that foregrounds the nature of a cultural representation where identity and difference are ironed out through serial repetition. Combining contemporary romantic comedy with cult indie horror to a backdrop of an ever-smiling facial wallpaper, Undo Unlove attempts to tease out disruptive relationships between humour, terror, frustration and objectification. Liv Tyler, Denise Richards, Kate Hudson and Rose McGowan are all scheduled to make an appearance, alongside lesser known Teri Meminn, in an installation that will tease and refuse to satisfy, promising only a psychedelic play of inverted signal and response.
