Queen
Not necessarily in this order: a bowling alley, artists, friends, a recording studio, a pregnancy, a baby, and universal pop culture. Places, time, memories, and words collide in Kathryn Elkin's novel Queen. She generates a film of quick prosody that obliterates the sense of performance, much like a bowling bowl thrown at great speed. Written and photographed during Queen's own pregnancy and the early months of her child's infancy, the film explores the artist's interpretation of the experience: can being a mother be a performance?
