Long Shot of Truman Install
The network map across 4 planes of the walls of the Truman Brewery — the tape lines branching and crossing, each one standing in for a connection between two people who never met. The room was large enough that you…

Close-up of Truman Install for 20 Broken Objects
The duct tape lines converging on a single point — the brickwork underneath making it rougher and more physical than the Hendon version. The light from a hole in the wall in the corner is incidental, but intrudes beautifully
First Install of the Exchange Network at Hendon MDX
Black duct tape on the white wall and floor — the network of exchanges rendered in the cheapest possible material, site-specific and temporary by nature. This was the first time the map existed in physical space.
A Duplicate Image of the Hendon Installation

6 lengths of rope hung from the roof of the warehouse, each one sweeping down and back up in a long arc — the space between them as much a part of it as the rope itself. The industrial light…
Candle Spiral
Handmade beeswax candles arranged in a loose spiral on a concrete floor, inside a room built from cardboard sheets — the warmth of the flames against the rawness of the space. It held together better than it had any right…
