we are for you because we are against them
(Brief moments of Intimacy for 4 couples)

Under a lamppost on a street in central Belfast four couples attempt to achieve a moment of intimacy and kiss while wedged into ‘weebles’, spherical objects – 80cm in diameter - with only their head and their arms sticking out. When inside the objects a natural and intuitive act becomes a difficult challenge of balance and control and a normally private moment becomes the object of the public gaze.
