< Back to Duets for Objects Performances

A film and object installation extracted from an artistic residency at the post war junk museum Elsewhere in North Carolina, summer 2009. In collaboration with a family of ‘ghosts’ inhabiting the third floor of the museum, this work translates traces of the immaterial through flesh, the viscerality of site and the embodiment of objects. 

Duets for Objects navigate an inter-play between two sites, the Christ Church Crypt and Elsewhere’s third floor. The duplication of site and bodies overlap transient histories and the physicality of architecture, resonating with the legacy of Hugenot cloth production in Spitalfields and the life, death and resurrection embodied in the history of the Crypt.
