Well of course you might expect me to call that body fascism in disguise.
Seriously I am the sort of person who thinks it is rather mundane casting a black man as Othello, it
would be fun to make his the only white part in the drama :)
I like to turn assertions on there heads and then go off at right angles again.
Count me out, I prefer to be behind my own camera. As for my body, well I am still blessed with
sufficient hypermobility to turn myself into something like a medical pornograph in classic scary
B&W, but generally when it comes to colour cinematograpy I am altogether too pretty as everyone
knows (don’t they?) :)
As for T4 that is indeed closer than we all think because those attitudes are there rife amongst
evolutionary biologists and psychologists, Peter Singer is just the most obvious villain, there are
many many more.
Not every Doctor and Psychiatrist complied with T4, there were a few "Schindlers" Dr Creutzfeld (of
CJD fame) for instance.

> Resistance is an installation that combines experimental

> Aktion-T4 can still be heard, it delivers a warning from the past.
