THE CODED BODY

DIRECTOR / Luke Clayton Thompson
BRAND / –
YEAR / 2016
COUNTRY / United Kingdom
RUNTIME / 5’30”

Set within a hyperreal gallery space, surrounding objects pinpoint the key themes of the work: form and evolution. The body in code explores and subverts these conventions. Ancient Greek philosophers used cyphers to conceal their anarchistic political beliefs within writing, here coded scripting conceals the male nude and warps it into a mythical creature.
