Rot In Paradise: A series exploring the impermanence of beauty

Known for her distorted cyber looks and provocative glamour – Hungry is an artist challenging all of our ideas about drag.

Describing herself as “an organism struggling to fit into any niche and forced to create their own biosphere”, the performer and muse’s latest collaboration with photographers Phillip Prokopiou and Panos Poimenidis at Studio Prokopiou is an otherworldly experience.

Commissioned as part of The Mandrake Hotel’s artist residency program, “Rot In Paradise” explores the impermanence of beauty.   Set in a series of imagined worlds, the visuals see Hungry channel the mythological, futuristic and decadent to surreal effect.
