Bend It

Written & directed by Jules Nurrish

3 mins 2007 (UK)

Synopsis

Bend It is both an homage and a contemporary revision of the dance made (in)famous by British-based artists Gilbert and George, who in 1967 declared themselves 'living sculptures'. The film features two androgynous figures dancing on plinths in an art gallery, to the same 60s pop tune that the artists used when they were exploring the idea (and reality) of life as art.
