LIVE-Zoom-Performance

CLEVER AT SEEING WITHOUT BEING SEEN by Lee Campbell

Innovating the possibilities of media re-use, feeding-back and looping round of text, and the layering of the voices, this multi-layered multimedia live ZOOM poetry performance is a colourful, immersive, textured, organic and disorienting montage of young queer experience told through my own personal autobiography. There are so many different references to decades of British history though different registers of image-making, language and bodies through a complex repetitive system of layering making the viewer continually question how many layers there are. The images comprising the ZOOM green screen video effect include drawings and painting from my personal archive as an artist of over 25 years .
