Waje’s Cockabunnies

Sophie Breer 

1981, 14:44 min, color, sound

Waje’s Cockabunnies is structured like the mid-century children’s television show “Romper Room,” in which the host leads children through activities and craft demonstrations. Breer captures Wojarowicz’s creative process as he sits at a child’s desk, cuts out bunny ears and tails, and secures them to the cockroaches with Q-tips and rubber cement. The audience, comprised of Breer, her sister and filmmaker Emily Breer, and Emily’s boyfriend David Baillie, frequently interjects with amused commentary and laughter.
