Speculative perceptual experience inspired by Ill Seen Ill Said / Mal Vu Mal Dit by Samuel Beckett
The novel is based on a reconfiguration of the conventional idea of time and space. The character ‘‘She’’ is an unnamed old woman who lives alone in a stark, unspecified rural area at an indeterminate time. Out of the text’s complete obscurity, a number of objects emerge like luminescent particles, shaping and defining the space around them.
The work combines layered visual and spatial experiments: filming passers-by to create an imagined temporal space; hybridising a balloon from the text with moving images; and installing the balloon as a single source of light and sound in the Dorfman Hub at the Roundhouse. Mirrors amplify the immersive scenography, linking breath, movement, and illumination in a continuous, reflective rhythm.
