duration: 45 minutes

Low magic

Quiet assertions of hopefulness

Resisting moods of desolation and powerlessness.

That doesn’t mean they are not themselves

almost-schizophrenic, about-turns,

“”this is a shout out to my mom, Joy, I love you, I miss you, give me a call sometime. SHUT UP!!!”

Gentle, humble, tender works

Bringing together things that could never immediately suggest themselves + despite it, works.

Low magic

Only feared

Iraq, Mexico, France

London

Shift and ripple - despite their formal rigour- this tenderness towards their subjects infuses with warmth moments of hesitant comedy and baleful absurdity.

– Dan Walwin
