Hiker Meat is an exhibition by Jamie Shovlin about an exploitation film that never actually existed.
Hiker Meat and its fictitious Italian director Jesus Rinzoli have been imagined by Shovlin to represent an exploitation film set in an American summer camp in the 1970s.
At the centre point of the exhibition is an immersive audio visual installation that references Hiker Meat and Rough Cut, a feature-length film directed by Shovlin. Shot during the filming of Hiker Meat, Rough Cut strips back the wider Hiker Meat project, from the inception of the idea to Shovlin’s attempt to re-make a film that never existed.
I know … I don’t really understand it either but it sounds interesting.
The exhibition runs until Monday the 21st of April and more information can be found here.
