In poetic images, Plant Dreaming Deep exposes the exhausting transitional phases of loneliness, insecurity and isolation. By means of analogue video synthesis, fine-pored textures and washed out veils of colour were created, which find a suitable complement in the pulsating soundscape of Emilie Payeur.

Making use of a dizzying array of anti-gay protest footage captured and posted on the internet, Mead’s protagonist bears witness to the fractures, shifts and resistances that have brought us to this time in LGBTQ history.
Begins with a celestial introduction, leading into an otherworldly, sensuous, glamorous journey through the glimmering bodily landscapes of two drag queen lovers. As Mead slows down their gestures, the physical tension between them heightens: red-lips gently caress, nail-polished hands sweep across flesh, fake eyelashes bat, all with a sense of longing and a hint of laughter. The entire performance a profession: I'm not in love, I'm not in love. This playful, kitschy-cool video will inspire on to pick up a microphone, put on their own form of drag and get their 10cc on.

Both sonically and visually, The Moons of Palaver celebrates the rhythms, patterns, resonance, and lyrical elusiveness that can be found or sought out on any particular evening.

In 2017, the footage was rediscovered and reworked into a composite of various arrangements engaging in the filmmakers preoccupation with abstraction. The audio arrangement is a collage of various found material which was originally recorded in the late 1960’s. As a whole, the work creates a spectrum of proximities.
