Overview
A four-minute video intervention by Steve Partridge, commissioned for Channel 4's Television Interventions during Glasgow’s year as European Capital of Culture. Blending close-up visuals, spoken word, and animated text, the work deconstructs the TV trope of the talking head to explore language, communication, and identity through a gendered and distinctly Scottish lens.
