WET & MESSY is the eleventh iteration of the Late Tapes series – an ongoing exploration of fetishistic desire curated by Harlan Whittingham and Helena Whittingham in collaboration with the Bishopsgate Institute's UK Fetish Archive.
Drawing on the golden age of British sploshing and the long-running output of WSM productions, Aquantics, Artscene Wetlook, and others, this edition celebrates the pleasure of ruining a good outfit: substances poured, dumped, smeared and thrown, with full slapstick commitment. Come and experience custard, mud and mushy peas in all of their squelching glory; just don’t send us your dry-cleaning bill.
All films will be presented in their original VHS format.
Programme duration: 60 minutes.
