Pillow Fight

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.
