Synopsys
Wrapping paper is unforgiving. It becomes a showcase for every mistake, hesitant crease and misjudged cut, as we stumble our way through packaging up a gift. “Keith” examines the anxieties brought on by wrapping oddly-shaped presents.

Biography
Spanning music video, fashion photography and art projects, Natasha Cantwell’s (b. 1979) work openly embraces awkwardness while drawing from the absurdity of human behaviour.

Alongside her art practice, she produces and curates for festivals and galleries, including the Auckland Underground Film Festival and Channels: The Australian Video Art Festival.
