VOIDMAXXING (Joy That Kills)

Hole like a hole, hole as your hole, I’d rather hole than give you a hole.

Holes beget bodies beget holes in a hole tableau. Allow yourself to become uncomfortably close to the void as these eleven small films transverse bodies, liquid humours, and VHS spaces. From whispered secrets to analogue backroom dreams, tiny delights await. —Joey Malbon
