Artist: Marie Schuller

Synopsis:
Oyster is one of three films produced by Marie Schuller for SHOWstudio’s Fashion Fetish series.The film, originating from Schuller’s commission for the London Fringe Gay and Lesbian Film Festival, is a candid exploration of personal fantasy. A lesson in fashionable flashing, the piece focuses on the fetish of exhibitionism, capturing a wholly unorthodox journey on the humble London Underground.
