What began in 2017 as a series of comedy sketches for a planned anthology film evolved into 3 episodes of an experimental video series, with a further 2 episodes produced over the course of the next two years.
In the past, artists shocked audiences creating work that challenged moral and ethical standpoints in new and unexpected ways.
Today, images of violence, atrocity and death are more widely distributed than ever before - is it even possible for 21st century artists to shock?
The challenges of validation in the art industry, the conditioning of sexual arousal, the exploration of mental health in the history of art, and the seemingly impossible task of conjuring original ideas are all explored in the episodes.
From green-screened scenery, to stop motion illustrative animation, and from paint splattered body horror to psychedelic visuals, the episodes cross between a variety of imaginative and multi-colored genres and styles.
The five episodes of Concrete Dildo aim to explore what the post-internet generation considers ‘shocking’ in art. With extreme violence, gore and pornography omnipresent and oozing from our screens, is our culture so shocking that art can no longer compete?
