Banalities for the Perfect House
Description
Artist Statement
Banalities for the Perfect House is a collaborative installation & performance work premiered at Sydney's Performance Space theatre on Sept 9 2005. The work posits the house as a condition through which we perceive the world - the city an extension of grid-like structures viewed through the frame of an open window. The performance space is arranged with wooden frames, boards and barricades resembling, in abstract form, a housing construction site. Each surface is rendered with text creating an immersive environment that can literally be read, and heard as speech.
