It's a story about a male photographer and a female celebrity. Its a question about how far we'll go, how much we think we're in control and how much we're prepared to 'go with the flow'. The piece playfully manipulates theatrical conventions and narrative expectations, revealing the seductive power of make believe and the subtle abuses of power that dictate our relationships - with each other, with art and with language. The authors of the work are also the performers and the lines between truth and fiction, and consent and coercion blur until they're destroyed.

Autorenporträt
Action Hero is the collaboration between Gemma Paintin & James Stenhouse. Exploring the epic and the banal, they create performance that is intimate, distinctive and invigorating, examining the iconography of popular culture and its use; both as a weapon and as a shared cultural memory. 'See why this maverick company, with its engaging DIY aesthetic, is attracting so much attention.' Guardian
