When I was thinking about how to physically bring the film
into the communal project space

I didn't want to recreate the sets.

Instead I wanted to produce a feeling,
something between a stage and a public space.

Installing props and architectural models in-situ,
it’s something I return to across my practice.

I often work closely with the curator and the institution
to respond to the specific architecture of a space.

And with the Communal Project Space,
with its public facing architectural feature and reception,

shaped everything about how this installation sits.

The props you see here,
all appear on the film

but here they’re arranged on the stepped stage
lived by theatrical lighting,

the shadows that cast on the opposite wall
are as much a part of the work as the props themselves.

This installation marks ten years
since I first came to the UK

and a move towards something I don’t yet know.

The in-betweenness is something you might feel
standing here between space,

between genres,
between moments.

It’s exactly what the work is trying to hold.
