Description Queer, Femme, performance maker Kerith Manderson-Galvin presents a precarious work of transformation and decay. A self-conscious breach of a body and performance, The Fly (1986 Film) navigates lapsed boundaries and the everyday horror of being someone, and being no one.

Birthed from David Cronenberg’s classic sci-fi body-horror film, ‘The Fly’; a near empty cover of a 1957 edition of Playboy magazine; and a body undergoing revolution.

“Yeah, I build bodies. I take them apart, and put them back together again.” Seth Brundle, The Fly
