After Bed
2023, 3 minutes
single-channel digital video with sound
film emulsion, nail polish, tape, 16mm film leader

Pulsing flashbacks from the summer of love reawaken a queer California classic.

Scavenged from color tests, the sole Asian American woman in James Broughton’s erotic film The Bed pulses with queerness through the celluloid cracks of 16mm, tape, and nail polish.
