The Breakers

2019

The Breakers (2019) is a filmed performance by Richard Porter using recorded live music by long-time collaborator Timothy Thornton.

Porter's filmed performances often locate himself in a landscape or interiors where long camera-shots show his body as vulnerable, isolated and searching for something unknown, presumably lost.

The film was premiered at the ICA, London as part of Queers Read This (2019) and was shown as part of the online video programme Images Disturbed by an Intense Parasite at Amanda Wilkinson, London (2020).
