The Bed and the Street
Add to selectionDownload PDF
 

A love story set in the global anti-austerity demonstrations. As citizens take back their streets, two women meet and fall in love. What geometry of desire will help overthrow the state? What micro-politics of sharing and communality will provide fuel for demonstrations that will remove and replace the neo-liberal consensus? Cast in a palimpsest of images and sounds, as if there were no way to separate inside and out, the street and the bedroom.

After the election

we lost our bodies.

I wanted to love you
by overthrowing the state.

I met you there for the first time
again and again.

We are a demonstration.

How will we make the new state possible?

If you don’t let us dream, we won’t let you sleep.

-Mike Hoolboom, 2018
