Within the exhibited display is a collection of pieces highlighting specific projects carried out by Byrony Birkbeck over the past two years. Each individual project, dependent on client and purpose, is based on various themes, many of which touch on the exploration of the human condition and the psychology of the individual. Using hand crafted costume and props as a central focus of most projects, Birkbeck combines spontaneity and play with exploration and experimentation. Whether playing dead, being a giant spoon, a helpless cupcake chased by Vikings or a rainbow at a race track, we can be certain of one thing: Birkbeck always has fun. This erupts into a chaotic setup which invites the audience to become part of a surreal world..
