THE FIFTH WALL

ZINE + PUBE

Access: V / S
The Fifth Wall is a written Zine + Pube that is posted to you. There is also an audio recording of the writing emailed to you on booking.

I hate this. I hate that we have to pretend still like things are normal or whatever. I mean they were never normal in the first place but you know what I mean. Writing copy. Making art. Going to work. Not going to work. Death and stuff. Anyway, let’s pretend:

I like fucking with perception and power and walls.

I’m here to piss on your fifth wall//filth wall.

I have the intention of creating this fifth wall for u and me,

since breaking the fourth wall doesn’t really happen anymore.

I could be looking at the camera and you could be looking at your phone or genitals or your genitals on your phone and that wall would be intact and I love breaking things as you know.

I wanna post something to you, and only you and the rest of the people who sign up to this. it’s gonna be some writing, some drawings and one of my pubes delicately places and preserved inside. I’m gonna make an audio version of it too.

the only thing you need to pay for this is attention and even then who cares?

how am I gonna know?

if you miss holding things, still, like I do, then maybe you can hold this for a while?

This is my third version of an artist bio for Tammy Reynolds since the pandemic began. I could list the organisations who have given me money and support but the longer I hang around this place the more I realise very little matters and most bios look the same. I’m an artist. I’m a pre-pandemic-performer. I don’t read as much people think I do. I’m a white-queer-disabled-depressed-dwarf who has stopped trying to make sense of the world and just wants to blossom into a beautiful bed for people to rest on. I genuinely do hope this bio finds you better than you were before
