‘A Yard of Lunatics’
The first film collaboration between film director and Thomas Alsop, creative director of featured in
BlackPepper consulted on graphics and printing featured on the chainmail garments, white shirts and fencing tops.
“Initially referencing Francisco de Goya’s 1794 homonymous painting as well as ‘Los Caprichos, the film explores and reinterprets the satire contained within these artworks on today’s sociopolitical landscape. Purposely leaving an open interpretation to avoid the intent to indoctrinate, dancers Sonya Mohova, Yos Clark and Ethan Jacobs enact a visceral performance as a powerful reaction to the current media overload. The film also combines the use of Al-generated ‘Goya-esque’ artworks as well as candlelight shots to marry old and new technologies.”
