Austin Young’s The Worm is an ongoing video art project that blends camp, horror-comedy, celebrity parody, and queer performance. Co-written with Nadya Ginsburg, the work uses exaggerated pop-cultural figures and absurdist storytelling to satirize fame, identity, and entertainment culture. With performers including Ginsburg, Margaret Cho, Selene Luna, and Mario Diaz, The Worm reflects Young’s broader interest in transformation, drag-inflected performance, and the unstable boundary between celebrity image and grotesque fantasy.
