Fatal Act by 13BC
Tinworks is pleased to present Fatal Act, a group of films by artist collective 13BC, that moves through the wreckage of nuclear history, Hollywood reproduction, and the gaps between an event and its copy.
Founded by curator Vic Brooks, artist Lucy Raven and writer/theorist Evan Calder Williams, 13BC is a research and production collective for moving images. The collective makes films and installations that explore hidden histories, archives, landscapes, and the political uses of technology.
Fatal Act is composed of four moving works— Straight Flush, Act I, When Horses Were Coconuts, and Corpse Cleaner. Straight Flush (2019, 72 min) takes shape around a film that was never made: Bob Hope’s proposed biopic of Claude Eatherly, the military weather pilot whose report enabled the bombing of Hiroshima, and whose postwar unraveling became a contested public narrative of guilt, madness, and fraud.
