Fantômas - The Villain
This is more of an investigative lecture than a performance. I go through the bizarre and mysterious contents of a USB that I found on the pavement.
The USB belonged to a journalism student, Jeremy Fardon, and contained all of his research into Fantômas, a self-proclaimed villain who was terrorising Edinburgh art galleries by sticking little casts of toes on the walls.

Some of the evidence is below, so you can get a closer look after watching...
