About the artwork
"Smidgen of Horror" draws inspiration from classic horror programs like The Twilight Zone and Hitchcock's Psycho. This video is part of exploring cinema as a space of both captivity and escapism. The visuals juxtapose surreal images with the familiar setting of a cinema, challenging the viewer's sense of safety within a place traditionally associated with entertainment and comfort.

Listen to Alsoguppyme discuss this work.
Alsoguppyme makes surreal images out of the ordinary, twisting them until they feel both funny and unsettling. Midlife shifts leak into the work — the cracks, the restlessness, the changes you don’t quite have words for. She follows those glitches as they turn into strange reflections of daily life.
