unclear
videographer (2023)
unclear is a live multimedia performance written and performed by queer disabled artist and activist Louise Westerhout, in collaboration with videographer Nicola Pilkington. Through a seemingly unrelated set of stories Louise recounts her journey with stage 4 lymphoma. unclear exposes the uncomfortable, shifting realities of our mortal existence and our erroneous need for meaning. As a multimedia performance, unclear breaks the narrative tropes around cancer and disability. It is live art, storytelling, exhibition, meditation and lecture performance, at times hilarious, at times heartbreaking.
