FINAL DAY Watching RYAN REYNOLDS' FILM 100 Times
It's the FINAL DAY Watching RYAN REYNOLDS' FILM 100 Times! This is DAY 9 of the FULL STREAM of WRob, WRyan, WRing Me! A performance art project, where I lived in the window of 16 Yorke Street, Wrexham City Centre. I watched the movie Green Lantern on repeat. I would only stop if either: Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney call me and tell me to stop, or I watch the movie 100 times.
ON DAY 9: i slept then eventually left the room after 9 days lol.
Why did I do this?
I like a challenge. I’d like to meet Rob & Ryan. But also...I’ve been thinking a lot about content.
In August 2022, 'Welcome to Wrexham' will be released on FX in the USA and Disney+ in the UK. The reality of my hometown becoming the backdrop for a major documentary series has given me a lot to consider. As an artist and filmmaker from Wrexham, I've spent a lot of my life reflecting on how to improve its depiction in media. Hopefully this series marks a major turning point in that regard. Like most people here, I don't really know what to expect, but I hope it's positive.
This exhibition is my way of exploring my feelings related to the project, as well as my own work as a ‘content creator’.
At the same time as the world is watching Wrexham, I will be in Wrexham, watching Ryan Reynolds...and you can watch me, watching.
If the world of content creation is going to be criticised as an endless loop, here’s a mirror.
