nash is on my mind

from the book intimate distance "in K, 1989, the artist appears to expel a long string of viscera from her mouth which she then knits with her arms into a dress which hangs down in front of her naked body. but, rather than suggesting a violent disembowelling, the film offers a meditation on the interiority of the body and the irrational fears it engenders. the disgust and horror we might feel at innards revealed is converted into a recognition of beauty, even of domesticity, as she slowly her body's visceral covering. it is difficult to find the film, i just found an excerpt, not even ubu was carrying it. but nonetheless, i was thinking rtri upon exploring this artist.
