Episode synopsis
Bryony Kimmings is a bold, sweary performance artist, whose best-known work is a song about vaginas. Launching Artist in Residence, a new strand in which artists immerse themselves in unlikely and fascinating places, this film sees Bryony take up residency in one of Britain's busiest sexual health clinics, where 2000 people are treated each week. Bryony asks patients to open up about the most intimate details of their sex lives and love lives, then follows them home and creates extraordinary performances. She makes a radical dating guide for newly-single Trevor; a musical performance about sexual confidence for carefree millennial Salome; and she also helps two sex workers, Jodi and Tina, lead a parade through a city where sex is often easier to find than love.
