Pretty / Dirty (Short film, 2019) Mature
Our attempt to harness or homage the glitter and mess of a Marilyn Minter painting in a film.
Pretty / Dirty was the name of a mid career retrospective show of the work of photographer and painter, Marilyn Minter. Her work often uses hyper-real depictions of exaggerated feminine tropes. Glistening lips, messy, heavy shadowed eyes and sticky skin all bursting through in glossy, high fashion parody, extreme close up. So intense and excessive they take the language of glamour and show the visceral filth beneath.
This film explores the intersection of Femininity and The Grotesque, when femme-ness, glamour, glitter is exaggerated to the point of excess, stomach-turning glistening, gluttonous, grossness. Gorgeous with emphasis on the gorge.
