Tomos and Laura in their characters from SPUN. On the left, Tomos crouches down at the same height as Laura, he looks through the viewfinder of a large black film camera. Laura on the right, flamboyantly throws a hand upwards past Tomos with a pout on her face, her other hand grabs the left wheel and rim of her wheelchair. Laura wears a shimmering red catsuit with gold jewellery which contrasts against Tomos' plain black t-shirt.
SPUN Productions takes place within a dream of our misguided hero, Dave. His monotonous living room is taken over by boisterous characters from a TV show, who subvert his familiar life into bizarre fragments and put him through chaotic tasks. As images of retro TV shows are explored, this vivid production presents a collision of the real with the surreal.
