Pure Means

Overview

Pure Means (2021) is a 4-minute, two-channel video work by artist P. Staff, commissioned by Frieze and Q/. Shot in the California desert, it explores themes of volatility, exhaustion, and queer intimacy through a disjunctive, red-and-blue 3D-style, featuring dancer Gregory Barnett. The film, which also appears in installations like the Julia Stoschek Collection, uses a frenzied, non-linear narrative to examine the viewer's position.
