The Wasp Room presents a solo exhibition of Stuart Croft’s film ‘Drive In’: an endless road movie that explores apocrypha, paradise and the monologue form. ‘Drive In’ features two characters whose car glides through a nameless, rain-soaked city at night. The passenger, a super-confident American woman in her late twenties, recounts a classic, but barely disguised, male fantasy to a middle-aged man driving the car, who remains unnervingly silent throughout. Shot on celluloid and on the road with the full apparatus of a film crew, ‘Drive In’ appears to be a convincing slice of a commercial feature film. Yet with endlessness at the core of Croft’s scriptwriting, editing and gallery installation, he infinitely denies linear cinematic assurances. Production of ‘Drive In’ was financially supported by Arts Council England and Royal College of Art Research. Assisted by Arri Media/Arri Lighting/Kodak. Private view: Tuesday 14th September, 6-8.
