Studio8 - Uniting the Arts

Holidays are sadomasochistic rituals of sex and violence, but played out in slow-motion and subterfuge. With candles and sometimes balloons. Inside each gift box is a bloody heart still beating (to the tune of the Lil' Drummer Boy, Silent Knight, Ave Sharia, etc.) only it is disguised as a day-planner, an egoPod, a video game system, a baby doll that weaps from the pain of humanity and growing old. Each necktie is a noose. Candy canes are cutting objects. Paranoia full of grace. Eat birds.
