The Unholy Three (Els tres profans), 1995-96 Vídeo, color, so, tres canals, 10 min Three screen colour video, sound Cortesia Maureen Paley, Londres Courtesy Maureen Paley, London (Screen, left) Yeah, I’m a ladies man. I like the ladies. I like to get out and about looking at the ladies…you know. But I like the leggy ones, they have got to have nice long legs, that’s what I like to see, nice long legs walking down the street with a nice rear as well, not a big fat one ….I don’t like that. I like to see a nice good pair of legs walking down the street. But I am not so bothered about the face, the thing is with the face it doesn’t matter if it’s a bit older as long as it’s not too wrinkly, but the thing is the body and the personality, that’s the thing. It has to come from inside, they have to have something inside, some magic there, that’s what I want to see. And I want to know that they look after themselves, that’s the one thing I like. If I think they are looking after themselves. I don’t like these one’s who let themselves go, like they are 23-24 you know 25…. even a bit older and they have had a couple of kids and they have obviously let themselves go, fat out of shape, their attitude… I don’t like any of that… because it’s depressing. Like there’s no hope somehow no spark you know, that’s what I want. 82 (Middle Screen) Man kicking stuffed clothes. What you fucking doing stealing my woman? What do you do? Leave me alone. Take that you fucking idiot. You fucking had enough have you? Why don’t you fucking talk to me, why don’t you fucking talk to me? I can’t take it no more. Bastard, bastard, I can’t take much more of you following me, talking to me, I just can’t stand you anymore. Why don’t you fucking die, why don’t you fucking die, you can’t can you. Take that you dirty bastard, take it take it. I just about had enough,… I really hate you. You can’t fight can you? You take the piss out of me… you cunt. Why don’t you fuck off? Don’t fucking talk to me like that, just don’t talk to me you cunt. When the 3 participants are in the pub Steve: Are you out alone then. Claire: Sorry?
