In celebration of Pride month and following her latest release

artist and proud queer community member Tanzer has released

Disco
Instamatic (music video version)
Created
by Tanzer in collaboration with queer screen culture
magazine Sissy
Screens, Disco Instamatic is a large-scale,
hyper-color screen work. Featuring 20 stars of Melbourne’s dynamic
queer arts scene—including Tanzer, The Huxleys,
Mo’Ju, Atong Atem and Karen From Finance—this
immersive installation unites music, drag, dance and visual
art.
The locomotive love child of Antonio Lopez’s Instamatics
and Andy Warhol’s Polaroids, Disco Instamatic
is inspired by Tanzer’s work as a disco DJ and original
musician within the queer clubs of Australia. The song “Deep
Fried Disco”describes a fictional disco utopia where all
problems are forgotten and we can find escape, glamour and hope
surrounded by other members of the queer community.
Sissy Screens produced the moving-image
Disco Instamatic installation and engaged Melbourne-based
queer film crew for this project. Sissy Screens
promotes queer cultural production and aims to amplify and celebrate
the voices and work of LGBTQIA+ creatives.
Tanzer, the creator & director of Disco Instamatic
says “Disco Instamatic is a glamorous time capsule
that captures, elevates and amplifies the icon within. In a
breathless, glittering moment - the viewer can come face to
face with a superstar, in a vignette as intimate as it is dazzling.”
Tanzer previously released her mini-album Disco
Automatic. The 6-song release shows the range of Tanzer’s
multi-hyphenate abilities in all of its disco, pop, operatic
majesty. The accompanying videos also dazzle with an array of
themes from Drag (including Tanzer’s Drag King persona) to Sci-Fi
and so much more. Disco Automatic includes previous
singles “Fantasy,”
“Tango,”
and “Deep
Fried Disco.”

ABOUT
TANZER
Tanzer is in the business of escapism - and escape you shall.
A singer, composer, DJ and visual artist, Tanzer is known for
her cinematic, high-glamour, escapist works that are at once
intensely powerful, deeply fragile and darkly humorous. Her
work spans stages, clubs, galleries and festivals and fuses
musical forms to a multitude of performative and artistic outcomes.
Her musical compositions move from opera to disco and from the
experimental to pure pop - exploring self-image, gender, romance
and the power of the alter ego. Her film and curatorial works
are renowned for their elaborate dreamscapes and meticulous
aesthetic that take stylistic cues from ‘70s retro-futurism,
Euro-camp and Australian pop culture nostalgia.
