LORD OF THE FLIES CORONATION

“This intensely political and durational performance in 2017 saw the artist lie for 12 hours in a clear Perspex coffin filled with cotton, rotting fruit, and [thousands] of live flies, after covering himself in blood and [stapled] bank notes. He then led a procession through the streets of Birmingham to the steps of the city museum, using religious imagery to make present the history and contemporary reality of the suffering Black body. “ – Fierce festival
