From the comfort of a familiar toilet seat, PORTAL_01 transports users to a surreal all-female dimension. Another universe where attitudes towards female disposition and etiquette are explored through hyper-saturated, hyper-exaggerated feminine characters. The piece draws from the eerie perfectionism, fickleness and sexualisation of female characters in science-fiction and video games.
The VR experience is a collage of medias, with performance footage of Anquetil adopting a series of bizarre characters superimposed into a computer animated wormhole.
The experience, featuring a dial-up reminiscent soundtrack by Archy Marshall (King Krule) and Jack Towell, was debuted at Boomtown Festival in June 2017, and has since been shown at the Gazelli Art House, London and Centrum Gallery, Berlin.
