FAMEHUNGRY is a helter-skelter nose-dive into the TikTok universe, the attention economy, and what it means to be an artist now.

“Louise guides is through the strange work of TikTok social media in real time. Her fascinating explorations offer a neat (and sometimes messy) balance between the cerebral and the visceral. This timeline performances tackles important questions on artistry, technology, self image and generational difference.” Robin Deacon, Artistic Director and CEO, SPILL Festival
"FAMEHUNGRY is an incredible watch - uncomfortable, uncanny, whilst also being incredibly funny. The audience become the voyeurs of Louise’s obsessive online research, before she then turns the table on us and makes us consider our own online engagement and footprint.” Ellie Simpson, Senior Producer, The Pleasance
