Millennial Prayer is a sharp, satirical exploration of masculinity, politics, and pop culture 25 years after the millennium. Guy Oliver blends video, text, collage, and performance to unpack male identity, failure, and vulnerability through references to film, music, and internet culture. 

Guy Oliver’s interdisciplinary practice employs video alongside text, painting, collage and performance. Oliver has a long-standing interest in issues around male identity, notions of failure and the concept of the tragicomic. His work deftly weaves together references from social and cultural histories, music, advertising and internet subcultures, embodied through a cast of characters and personas. These devices are used to address uncomfortable, complex and urgent subject matter. Alongside Oliver’s dark humour and cutting critique, viewers will find an astute and sensitive portrayal of fragility and vulnerability.
