FAMEHUNGRY is a helter-skelter nose-dive into the TikTok universe and the attention economy, asking what it means to be an artist now. Fusing performance art and very real and very live TikTok Experiences, join award-winning performance artist Louise Orwin as she cosplays as a TikToker in a real life experiment hunting for fame and fortune.

Made in collaboration with an actual Famous TikToker, The Almighty Algorithm, and a host of TikTok Famous Faces, FAMEHUNGRY asks what the future looks like if all roads lead to TikTok.
