Sinopse
In Backcomb the demonic is unleashed on domestic space. It takes the form of two of femininity’s mildest tokens, hair and embroidery, that serve here in the creation of a sexualised surrealist experience.

The hair probes into vessels and punches through the cloth till finally order overturns and all smashes to the ground.
