“In the life of a solo performer a duet is always welcome. Where we take these ideas will be the adventure; not what you are doing but how you feel about what you are doing.” (William Hunt, December 2012) 

William Hunt was born in London in 1977 and graduated from Goldsmiths College in 2005. He currently lives and works in Düsseldorf. William Hunt’s work often involves performances in which he plays acoustic music under extreme physical conditions. As in most of his performances, comic and tragic elements play an important role, as does the demand for a high degree of physical exertion.

What is shared, what is private and what are the possibilities of self-presentation in contemporary screen based culture? Adopting conventions of a YouTube vlog, Magdalena’s teenage diary entries surface raw and seemingly unedited. Stored in a number of disused mobile phones; songs, gifs, low-fi images and movies weave into and trail off in unfinished stories, anecdotes, soundbites and faces from childhood, where experience of mental illness is quickly interrupted by pop lyrics.
