when activating empty buildings I don’t usually know what will happen, but I rather let the building tell me what to do. When I got there I drifted through the empty studios and I found things left behind in each one of them. I collected the objects (a bycicle tire, a basket, a dried out plant, a mirror, wood off-cuts, a street sign, a picture of Audrey Hepburn, a hose, strange rocks….) and placed them by the wall of the largest studio where I decided to work in. First I translated each object into movement/dance. Then I moved with the objects and created a set. The narrative or spoken word element is an automatic poem consisting of words written on blank cards referring to each of the objects. I put the words/cards into a bag and mixed them up and as they came out of the bag they formed the lines of the poem. The poem is performed by actor Greta Hansen at the end of the film and drives what happened at Ridley Road Studios to its absurdist conclusion. The soundscape laid over the juxtaposed films and stills was created by Ned Sidney Prevezer to my random brief of ‘yam’ that is referring to the area. Neither Greta or Ned knew what I did in the studios. It all is an aesthetic of concurrence.
