Vanessa & Julian is one of a series of 'Couples' pieces: performances and videos that involve Bates reproducing transcribed dialogues from reality TV show First Dates.

Each couple was chosen for the way they resonated with the artist, for the way they engendered an empathetic response. The dialogue was re-performed to camera against a white studio backdrop with props including a
smoke machine, bubbles and a smartphone.

In their re-presentation the conversations of the couples become absurd; a contemplative distance is produced from which the cultural phenomenon of dating shows is rendered as a strange contemporary artefact.
