Narrative
“So Tired of Being Alone” is yet another portal into the existence of Rhys Wallace, an artist who explores themes of identity, gender, visual culture and anthropology. As a multimedia artist, their work touches on several mediums such as film, collage, performance, digital media and drag, just to name a few. As a filmmaker, Rhys endeavours to create insights into the existence of the joint muse and creator; “So Tired of Being Alone” explores what it means to be a queer person abroad, the trials and tribulations of being a staunch fashion icon in the punishing heat of Seville and the general joy associated with being a young person living alone in the midst of a global housing crisis.
By “collaging” various pieces of media filmed and collected by Rhys, they invite viewers to project their own assumptions and ideals onto the ever shifting psychedelic landscape that is their film. Whilst also being given an insight into the artist’s own “mind palace”, a deeply layered and extensive existence that continuously overlaps and contradicts itself. Rhys invites you to step into their world and take solace from the grim realities of our own – if just for a moment.
