Adrian Lee

Tub-thumper, 2013:

In the church-like architecture of the Siobhan Davies Studios, Roof Studio, Lee explores the theatrical choreography of an Evangelist preacher during a YouTube sermon. As the preacher paces and gesticulates, Lee deconstructs the complex pattern of movements and actions he uses to manipulate your emotions. While unpicking the mechanics of the event, Lee exposes the cynical deployment of the body language of sincerity we encounter every day in attempt to sell us products, beliefs and policies.
