Hysteria is image number four of the series 'Lockdown Circus'. As we came across the pandemic and entered lockdown, we experienced a totally different scenario to how our lives normally proceed and how we function within our own built structures. I was interested in the surreality of it and the creative ways of coping as we moved through different phases - and we still are! In May 2020 my best friend, my partner and I created a micro version of a surreal queer family circus world in our back garden. These self portraits and portraits explore personal and political themes, both literal and metaphorical, while we were also using this for ourselves as an escape from the reality and frustration of our confinement. Hysteria is a self portrait that embodies a range of emotions between ridiculousness and absolute desperation.
