Unpacking the intersection of their individual concerns, Majid and Newby’s collaborative practice attempts to construct a language based on mediation itself. With their mutual interest in the subcultural languages of leather, fetish and body modification, the work explores the skin as a site of exchange, collaboration and desire, and positions exposure as an exercise in collectivity.
