The duo - one of flesh and blood, the other of foam and silicone - portrays the inner anguish and raptures of an individual in conflict with a society that holds purity as a moral law.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">In HUNTER, the audience enters a space where the boundary between disgust and pleasure dissolves. Inspired by horror, BDSM and melodrama, a visual world is woven where sexual perversions, the grotesque and the exaggerated become triumphant symbols of bodily autonomy and empowerment. Courtney May Robertson is convinced that when the rigid dichotomy between repulsion and attraction is dissolved, the instinctive feeling of disgust - usually associated with revulsion - can be transformed into paradoxical fascination. Driven by an industrial soundscape composed by Acidic Male, HUNTER embraces self-destruction as an act of self-preservation.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: right;\"><em>\u00a0\"Basically, I'd say HUNTER is about dangerously obsessive desire.
