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 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, including a balloon, emerge like luminescent particles, shaping and defining the space around them.
A balloon was used as a single source of light and sound in a model of the Dorfman Hub at the Roundhouse, linking breath, movement, and light in a continuous, reflective rhythm.
The design process combines layered visual and spatial experiments. These include filming passers-by in the park to create an imagined temporal space and hybridising a balloon with the videos’ projection.
