For Grammy Award Winning, Broadway star, and overall badass Tamika Lawrence.

This visual album is inspired by Maisie Cousins, whose works are grotesque, sticky, sweaty and hyper saturated. “Nature is always beautiful and also disgusting. Even the most beautiful people leak, bleed and shit” - Cousins. Stanley Kubrick, his glamorous psychopath, the use of the wide-angled lens, his and ability to disconnect violent acts from viscerally gruesome outcomes. The flesh and bone of Billie Holliday’s Strange Fruit performances at Cafe Society, always performed in a dark room, with a single spotlight on her face.  Every intro, she’d close her eyes as if evoking a prayer.

Famine and gluttony. They exist in the same globalized and industrialized world, and continue to do so because we perpetuate greed and divisiveness. If we put famine and gluttony right up against each other, in the same moment, in the same frame, would we understand? It is my ambition in film to articulate the balm for disparity and conflict. To reveal that we are one and in the same. Your suffering is my suffering, your pain is my pain. A pitch developed by Anna-Lauren Tufekci for Alarm Will Sound.
