The Ted Bundy Project

After making several early works of straightforward autobiographical storytelling that were often described as nostalgic and sweet, I became interested in making something different. I wanted to use something of the loveliness in those earlier performances to explore something that interested me in a different way and that felt less expected from me at the time.

In November 2012, Greg stumbled upon the confession tapes of Ted Bundy, the American serial killer, rapist and necrophile. He couldn’t stop listening.

The Ted Bundy Project was born from a curiosity about the nature of charm, the label of ‘monster’ and the tension between attraction and repulsion.

Greg has a wig, a bit of rope, a few YouTube videos and Bundy’s confession tapes. Come hear what he has to say to you.

Lyn Gardner, The Guardian:

Of course this isn't really a show about Ted Bundy. It's a piece about our fascination with violence, murder and gore. It's about why we remember Bundy, but not the names of the many women he killed. Wohead tells us in detail about an online video depicting a graphic murder and mutilation. He shows us a reaction video of teenage boys watching the murder, their faces shining with a mix of excitement, disgust, glee and horror. One is repeatedly sick but keeps on watching. Just as we keep on watching and listening to Wohead. Yes, it's problematic, deliberately so – but that's because this difficult, slippery show makes us face up to our morbid fascination, a fascination that we share with Bundy himself.
