Crocodile Cradle performed by Alastair Mackenzie

Crocodile Cradle is an exhibition on three platforms: a filmed performance, a text collage on PEER gallery's glass façade in Hoxton and a book to be published summer 2021.

For this collaborative project, artist Simon Moretti invited 51 artists including Fiona Banner aka The Vanity Press, Tacita Dean, Liam Gillick, Lubaina Himid, Christian Marclay and Cerith Wyn Evans to supply a text that they have written or found.

The artists' texts have been brought to life with this reading by actor Alastair Mackenzie; a 38-minute-film of his one-take performance.
