Look out, Fred! is a new installation by Evangeline Riddiford Graham that explores relationships between contemporary mythmaking and classical texts.
Using the structure of a perpetual canon - a term for a musical composition in which the song and its echo repeat indefinitely - the artist has composed an audio work from a layered, spoken-word narrative. Presented within a listening circle that loosely resembles a campfire, Look out, Fred! re-examines archetypal characters and modes of storytelling.
The script follows the song of Fred, a caustic cowboy who tells a familiar campfire story. However, his ʻechoʼ has other ideas. As Fredʼs identity is gradually unbuttoned, the rigid outlines of his cowboy protagonist self-bleed into his chaotic anti-echo, which increasingly takes on its own alternative campfire persona, that of a Dionysian reveller.
