All or Nothing; A Reconstruction (13)



A Fly hovers between the view from a window and
the hazy yellow of the world beyond the picture
frame, a tree becomes a treasured moment, or a
sudden burst of light a painful loss.

Images levitate at ground level, the clicking
of the projector enticing you in to a 
constellation of lights and crisp acryllic boxes,
which further encourage your eyes to search the
entirety of the walls. Translucent time capsules
are imprisoned by the boxes, each holding a
moment; they are caught on delicate silver spears
and stand in ceremony, leading the way to a
minimalist workshop where memories are paused,
held hostage and interrogated under magnifying
glasses. These memories undergo great torture
as they are reconstructed through regret,
passion and forgetfulness.
