Composer, producer, singer, and visual artist Elizabeth Bernholz – aka Gazelle Twin – has today released ‘We Wax. We Shall Not Wane‘, an audio Installation – featuring Maxine Peake – reworked for digital release. The piece was originally commissioned by Somerset House, London, for The Horror Show Exhibition which ran from October 2022 – Feb 2023, curated by Iain Forsyth & Jane Pollard, and Claire Catterall. Gazelle Twin’s intense and emotional audio installation closed The Horror Show, a journey through 50 years of horror, in a section that Catterall described as “healing and uplifting”.
