A delirious confection of multi-layered digital images, whipped into even more extravagant form by the artist’s trademark multi-character theatrics. Rachel Maclean’s Feed Me is an audacious, provocative exploration of the commercialisation (and sexualisation) of childhood, and a corresponding infantilism in adult behaviour. As we feed the monster of contemporary consumerist desire, Maclean’s film is a record of all the little monsters that are created in its wake.
Feed Me is on loan from the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art and shows in the Main Gallery at the Dick Institute until 26 August 2017.
