THIS IS BABY

A photo of Baby, a genderless amorphous being, dressed in vintage apron and heels with pink rubber gloves and a green feather duster. The background is a blue wall with a red fabric sheet hung and a vintage flower patterned green chair.

This is Baby. Baby is an amorphous being from another planet, probably….maybe even another universe. Nobody is too sure where they came from, however, these days they spend their days traipsing the internet for the meaning of the universe- Or at least the meanings on this planet.

Baby inhabits a technicolour world, their blue flesh blending into the very walls they walk through. Baby puts on gender like a costume, performing our human rituals, and often getting them wrong, in order to make sense of the world they now exist within.

Baby enjoys performing in cabarets and in front of webcams, maybe one day you’ll bump into them on a chatroom. They can’t wait to meet you.

please,

take me to utopia

Baby was created as part of a project entitled ‘PLEASE, Take Me To Utopia’, during the January U.K. lockdown, 2021. Baby is an exploration of the line between Utopias and Dystopias, Gender Performance and 60/70’s aesthetics. Below, a collection of films I curated and edited, as exploration of Baby’s character and life. Along with a collection of images taken during various photoshoots.
