A still from Alex Plumb’s work shows a person in the bath, fully clothed with a blank expression on their face. The image is taken from a high angle, looking down into the entire bathroom and down the hallway of the house. A large overgrown plant spills messily through the bathroom and down the corridor. The image feels airy, suspenseful, uncanny.

Alex Plumb

Alex’s film work sits at the crossroads where the ordinary meets the extraordinary. His mysterious and highly stylised depictions of everyday life scratch beneath the surface and shine a light on the psychological nature of our world, particularly around desire and sexuality.
