Ashery went to meet the artist and barber Faisal Abdu’Allah at his hairdressing shop in Willesden. Together they designed a hair cut that will combine the Star-of-David symbol with a pattern that is commonly used by black young people coming to his shop . Footage from this encounter features in the video.
Also in the video we see Ashery’s religious Jew alter ego Marcus Fisher, running around Central Saint Martins College of Art & Design building in Charing Cross Road with a large portfolio, putting work up in the studio, dancing on the roof, sniffing hard boiled egg in the toilet, leaving a tag ‘MF waz ere’, and masturbating in one of the photographic darkrooms. This video was filmed during Ashery’s MA at the art school.

After Duchamp is a self-portrait inspired by Man Ray’s Marcel Duchamp (tonsure en étoile par Zayas), 1919. Haircut by the artist and barber Faisal Abdu’Allah, silver gelatine print.
