Spineless

Spineless is a queer retelling of the myth of Eurydice and Orpheus. Through an installation consisting of writing, video and sculpture, a fantasized narrative is constructed that shifts away from the heroic history of Orpheus and focuses on the relationship between Eurydice and the snake that bites her.

In this version, Eurydice doesn’t die from a snake bite but transforms itself with it.

Through a combination of myth and sci-fi tropes, it combines storytelling, video and sculpture to think about shapeshifting, queerness, and slimy things.
