 Death is rubbish. Distressing. Heartbreaking. Sad. And a
bloody inconvenience if the death in question isn't yours. What's worse is if the death in
question leaves you with bills to pay, contractual agreements to fulfil and a severely
broken ankle. Formerly of comedy double act Mono-Z, the
recent death of her professional partner and twin sister Emily has left Charlotte Young
traumatised, destitute and with an hour to fill. Companionless, she now pieces together
the tattered remnants of their unique life, and her siblings' untimely demise at Watford
Gap motorway services. The ashen remnants of Emily's actual body have been unceremoniously
scattered in various locations within the M25.
Charlotte Young is an artist who creates work using performance,
video, installation and comedy. Her work has been exhibited throughout the UK and
internationally, including ICA, Tate Britain and ABC No Rio, New York. She has performed
alongside artists such as Simon Munnery, Bob & Roberta Smith, Kevin Eldon and Aaron
Barschak. In 2008 she won the Owen Rowley Award for Art (£600) but did not invest this
money wisely and is now receiving benefits.
