Backcomb 1995

Backcomb (1995) is an Animation film from United Kingdom in the lookmovie catalog, running 6m. Directed by Sarah Pucill, it features Karen Ashton. In Backcomb the demonic is unleashed on domestic space. It takes the form of two of femininity’s mildest tokens, hair and embroidery, that serve here in the creation of a sexualised surrealist experience. Within the claustrophobic space of a table-lay, a forceful and erectile mass of hair comes alive and slithers across its surface. The hair probes into vessels and punches through the cloth till finally order overturns and all smashes to the ground.
