BABY

BABY is a 1985 American adventure fantasy film; what your lover calls you; and your mother calls you. An inconoclastic, rhapsodic and ice-cold performance on the problem of human agency.

This work will be enjoyed by you if you like: Throwing Bricks Through Windows, Enjoying, and a polar bear eating its young.

Text-based, post-dramatic, political satire that is mostly as described in the image above; an audience with a polar bear; a victim of climate change, forced migration and globalisation. You are what you eat and this beast has eaten it’s young, your young and smoked the entire meth crisis.

“In a universe where all seek the true face under the mask , the best way to mislead is to wear the mask of truth itself ” – S. Zizek

“Sometimes I put on a ski mask and dress in old clothes, go out on the streets and beg for quarters.” – Mike Tyson

“Polar bears… they’re just used as a deceitful heartthrob; you know, to pluck your heartstrings.” – Piers Corbyn
