Talker #11: Miranda July

Talker is an interview zine about performance by Giles Bailey.

Issue #11 is a conversation with Miranda July.

Miranda is a filmmaker, artist, and writer. This conversation explores her live work, from early plays and performances for theatres to projects that are built on audience participation and take the form of apps, public talks or an interfaith charity shop in Selfridges department store. Alongside these, we discuss the significance of clothing, the ever-presence of stories and the importance of rituals. Her most recent film Kajillionaire was released in 2020.

Giles Bailey is an artist based in London. He works with performance, using texts, video fragments and choreographies to explore how knowledge and meaning are generated through relationships with others. Since 2016 he has published Talker.
