Aristophanes on Broadway

Overview

‘The subversive power of this piece remains central to this seemingly lyrical visual study of the 1990 Gay Pride Procession in Chicago. Motion is slowed, image is inverted so we are actually watching a high contrast negative (you’ve never seen colours like this). The beauty of the visuals is striking as is the classical intentionality of the Speech of Aristophanes from Plato’s Symposium.’ – Shellie Fleming
