The Sexlife of a Chair (S)

The Sexlife of a Chair is often cited in Mulloy’s body of work as one that stands out in style from the rest. Mulloy explains what makes this one different, “.. mainly because it has no narrative structure. I was interested in making a film using highly charged language and playing it off against visuals that were low key and, in terms of animation, ones that hardly moved. I wanted to play with and against the images that an audience brought with them into the cinema and the images (more or less adequate) that I created. And of course I wanted to do this with some humour. Again, the humour is created by a play on people’s expectations and like sex … sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t.”
