BETTER THAN… (SOLD OUT)
Scrolling for endless hours.
Sacrificing self for views.
Spiralling deeper and deeper into strange corners and twisted crevices.
Little gained and so much lost.
Subversive, comedic and thought-provoking, Better Than… is a journey through online worlds and the effects these body-consuming spaces have on the human psyche.
From melting monsters to fanatic Facebook mums and much in between, this show platforms the flip side of mainstream media, where exploitation and inauthenticity are rewarded with views. How far is too far
