Artists' Moving Image

Max Leach

Max Leach navigates issues of identity in relation to cultural behaviours and idiosyncratic systems, highlighting established aspects of society. Through sound, installation, performance and online platforms, he looks to evoke the spectator’s awareness of their surroundings, engaging with their perception and physical experience of space.
 
'Ducks Don't Drown’ (2018) is drawn from a series of interviews by the artist with Dark Web users, research reflectively looking at their use of this ‘invisible’ web platform. The film follows the lives of two suburban youths and the banal subtleties that surround online drug culture, masculinity and the Dark Web, entirely rendered through uncanny digital imagery narrated by a diegetic soundtrack.
