We fell in love with Paris last week!We were there to present our film In The Dark, Dark Room, and the book Little Houses, Big Forests (desire is no light thing) for the Transgressive Cultures Conference at the University of Chicago, Paris.The event was organised by Jack Sergeant and featured so many inspiring academics, thinkers, writers and artists, each highlighting the ever-growing importance of transgressive thinking and creativity in an increasingly conservative world.Thank you, Jack for the invitation and we hope to join another event in the future.

Residency next summer in Iceland

We're very happy to announce our residency in Iceland next summer.

In August 2018 we'll follow in the footsteps of some of our favourite writers and artists - Anne Carson, Roni Horn, Rebecca Solnit - for a residency at the Vatnasafn - Library of Water in Iceland.

We'll be using the time there for concentrated research and writing for an upcoming project on femininity and nature and its representations in several key texts and films. The focus at the Library of Water will be on the concept of 'bodies of water'.
