johnsmith is a whatever being.
Channelling mountains, stars,
slime mould and bacteria, john
gets into drag as Mother Earth
and tries on bodies from the cellular to the cosmic. Submerged
in a tide of images of ‘science’ and ‘nature’, johnsmith
howls: ‘who am I?!’ and ‘can I
make a change?’. Lip sync, live
stream projection and sound
are brought together to grapple
with some overwhelming questions on a microscopic scale.
