Liar Liar uses hidden techniques of filmmaking – props, filters, light and sound. On one level the exhibition is about illusion and disguise; on another it draws on Shapland’s life-experience of rural queerness, growing up performing straight. It gave him the sense that if he was passing and blending in then the landscape around him was just as malleable and fluid, constantly evolving, always temporary – a story.
Liar Liar also launches a new Welsh text, made in dialogue with poet and artist Esyllt Lewis in response to Shapland’s first novel A Room Above a Shop, published by Granta.
