Winged Eros / Kino Manhattan
Steph Holl-Trieu
In Steph Holl-Trieu's audio installation "Winged Eros", six characters attempt to unravel the tangled strands of Love and Revolution. Each character recounts experiences and conflicts between political conviction and personal desire.
   Enacting a form of remote pillow talk, their conversations are recorded in a series of voice messages sent to each other. Their exchange touches on love as sexuality, love as organising principle, love as a comradely bond, and love beyond bourgeois property love.
   Moving at times in unison, at others in discord, they ask, ‘What is this spectre of Revolutionary Love?’
