The(ir) Blurb...

Surrealist photographer Claude Cahun's iconic I am In Training/Don't Kiss Me portrait inspired a two line poem, a fractured couplet which is revealed, hidden and realised in this piece about intimacy, tactility and the projected theatre of how it feels to be together. 4000 still photographs show two female figures moving together in micro choreographed vignettes of play, touch and love. A game involving dressing up, repeated with love. Training for feeling.
