A few hours before the Scottish Mental Health Arts and Film Festival double-bill in Glasgow’s Tramway Theatre, our reporter Elaine Kordys met James from the vacuum cleaner. They talked about his piece Mental, a piece described as “one of the most powerful portraits of creativity and depression I’ve ever seen… a heart-rending journey” by a reviewer from RealTime Arts.

The result of this encounter is a short video interview. A wonderful opportunity to look back on the vacuum’s cleaner fantastic performance, and find out more about James’ work.
