Turning, full title Turning: A Film by Charles Atlas and Antony is a documentary musical art film by video artist Charles Atlas based on a stage collaboration Atlas had with British-American artist Antony Hegarty and her band The Johnsons.
Synopsis
The film focuses on 13 artists being performance women artists, models, butch lesbians and transsexuals who appeared with Antony and the Johnsons. Each artist rotates slowly on a turntable platform, her features blown up and transfigured on a screen behind the Antony Hegarty and her band The Johnsons with their elegant blend of music. Atlas incorporates the 13 personalities in the film and music through candid shots and playful banter to define his picturesque subjects on screen. It was filmed through various Antony and the Johnsons performances starting in 2004 up to the end of the critically acclaimed tour of Europe by Antony and the Johnsons during the autumn of 2006.Comments
