Charlie Osborne (b. 1999, Cardiff) is a London-based artist working across video, performance, music, writing and painting. Working through poetic vignettes, their practice employs a fictive logic to theatricality and the hyperreal. Drawing on horror aesthetics in both style and strategy, the work takes hybrid form—shock-rock essay-concert, noise performance, magical-realist story—shaped by screamo, synth-punk, hypnagogic pop, screaming harmonica, and a never-ending love-story rendered polyphonically. Osborne’s characters, video, sculpture and live shows are conceived as a spiritual dimension, where existential excess and the folly of modernity drive conspiracy and phenomena—replying through a new mythicism.

La Busqueda is a unique interaction of film and live performance, where the narrator/performer exists in many different shapes and places.
It’s more than the search for an endangered or lost species in Central Spain. It’s about the nature of looking, of having expectations and all the lights going out, literally. It’s about being asked to be a flower by Francesca Baglione (Miss High Leg Kick).
