Unravel review – a gorgeously excessive tangled knot of a show, full of blood, pain and pleasure

Unquiet work … Eye with Ñandutí by Feliciano Centurión. Photograph: Cecilia Brunson Projects, Familia Feliciano Centurión

A needle piercing an eye, the image sewn with human hair. Another needle through a nipple and a third sewing up the lips to silence them. Detached from the body, human hair can be waste – there’s something abject and awful about hair clogging a sink – and it can be a sentimental keepsake kept in a locket. It can become a thread. You can draw with it or sew with it. In this work, Hong Kong artist Angela Su does both. You need to get up close and you want to step away. She’s giving us something of herself that is filled with pain.
