His collaborative art practice – with David Burrows, Alex Marzeta and Vanessa Page, and sometimes with others – comes under the name Plastique Fantastique, a ‘performance fiction’ that involves an investigation into aesthetics, subjectivity, the sacred, popular culture and politics produced through, performance, film and sound work, comics, text, installations and assemblages.
