At the end of last night's show at #saddlerswells, Benji Reid said Find Your Eyes won’t be performed again in the UK. But if it is don’t miss it. It’s stunning. A completely unique #afrofuturist fusion of #photography, #choreography, #theatre, #dance, #music, #fashion, #design, #mime.

You might want to take what Reid himself says about it with a pinch of salt. In keeping with the current obsession with #memoir and #biography — the idea of ‘telling my story’ in ways that explore ‘universal themes’ and speak ‘to a wider audience’ (see his 2021 Laugh at Gravity publication for the #octobergallery) — he presents the work in terms that make it appear far more conventional and less imaginative than it really is. Reid is one of those #artists who may not be the best at writing about their own work. (Marina Abramović is another.) Just go and experience it.
