Leslie Lawrence works between Psychoanalysis, Anarchism, and Marxist theory to enter into collaborative models of production for art with a focus on ambitious communal film projects that incorporate shared practices.
A collaborative film that uses context of shared art production to produce an additional fantasy narrative, The Man Who Was Thursday follows a wild anarchist plot to destroy the world. Under the cover of ‘art practice’, an esoteric cabal publicly flaunts their dangerous activity while moving forward with a deadly plan. At the heart of their scheme is a mysterious briefcase that one undercover operative must find before the mysterious figure known only as ‘Sunday’ has the chance to use it.
