SOLOS – LINDSEY MENDICK
This film documents Lindsey Mendick’s process of developing work for Are You Going to Destroy Me?, part of SOLOS at Goldsmiths CCA 18 Sep–13 Dec 2020. Mendick’s work often draws on the autobiographical, spinning personal stories into fantastical immersive environments populated with objects and sculptures whose materiality and narrative qualities move through seduction, horror and ribald humour. Drawing together a myriad of references, this new body of work brings Mendick’s precise handling of the affective qualities of interior spaces, into contact with the film tradition of gothic horror, with its combination of sex and death, power and bodily violence.
