Ruth Angel Edwards and Chloée Maugile have been working together since 2020 and have developed a maximal and confronting practice through which they attempt to make sense of the present moment. Pop cultural styles and references both historical and contemporary are used in their work. Through moving image, performance, humour, music, and world-building, they explore how lives are lived on a literal, cerebral and psychological level under conditions of uncertainty, and how people continue to seek connection, meaning, and joy amidst social, political, and economic instability.
