Description
Aqueous Red explores the hidden aspects of water and love, through Kit Ingram's spellbinding poetic exorcism of violence, intimacy, dreams, and illicit liaisons which surface in fragments of interconnected lives. A boy watches his father pour scalding water onto his brother's hands, and later rescues a doll, promising to protect it with a kiss. A priest blesses a prostitute with holy water while a son drowns in a painful memory. In the sequence 'Red', a married man falls in love with a drag queen, and they play out fantasies of violence in a theatrical blaze that threatens their destruction. Intimate and voyeuristic, this collection plumbs the unseen moments that bind us all.
