Is Truth dead?
Gemma Marmalade often blurs the boundaries between truth and fiction, and in this episode Gemma tells me how to tell a lie that is 62% more believable. We also discuss her project to set up a call centre in Las Vegas, and Gemma explains the origins of her amazing surname - and why that story is strangely relevant to her work. But can I believe her?
Gemma Marmalade is a contemporary British artist currently undertaking doctoral research titled: In A Manner of Speaking: The Subversive Voice in Performative Art at the Cambridge School of Art, Anglia Ruskin University. Gemma is also an academic and Senior Lecturer in critical and experimental approaches to Photography at the University of Derby.
Her work specialises in photography, video and performance which playfully negotiate the authenticity of speech acts, history and science with queer politics.
