Garrett Nelson

The short film by Garrett Nelson is a new make of a scene from Peter de Rome’s 1970s x-rated gay film Adam and Yves (1974) in which the main characters observe and narrate a uniquely Parisian fetish of Le Soupeur. Anyone carrying a baguette in Paris is suspect! The film was shot in Paris as an alternative form of documentation and the culmination of a series of performances called Anácronicas I, II, III  by Garrett Nelson that were shown in the context of Cathy Josefowitz first major travelling retrospective The Thinking Body (2021-2022) at Centre culturel suisse Paris, Kunsthaus Langenthal and Arsenic Lausanne and as a result of a research residency at La Becque.
