Pillow Fight
Reviewed by: Angus Wolfe Murray
Scene: attic room, well lit, spotless, pine double bed, no douvet, 4 pillows. Is this an advert for Ikea? Not enough furniture and tiddly bits. What, then?
Enter: attractive girl in t-shirt and chinos (smiling) with balding bank manager person (podgy). Hang on! Is this Belle Du Jour for the Noughties? Wait...
Action: couple kneels on bed, face to face, fully clothed. Take a pillow (each). Start whacking. Memories of clandestine dorm fun at boarding school? Absoflippingright!
Followed by: repeat with granny, housewife and tall bloke.
Camera: stationary, voyeuristic, playing around with so-mo, fast-mo, mo-mo.
Purpose: as with art installations, don't worry about why, appreciate what.
Rules: 1. This is not a war game. 2. This is not kinky sex. 3. This is completely pointless. 4. Laugh.
