| Getting Close But The Again Not Close At All was partially inspired by the work of Giovani Piranesi and the image of a contemporary 'madman’. Performed at the UCL, the building designed by Jeremy Bentham known for his prison structure planning, the text repeated by the participants refers directly to the acts of watching and being watched addressing the Panopticon structure being the pre-cursor to contemporary cctv systems, as the video of empty stairs (see below) resembles exhibited at the UCL Art Museum prior to the live performance. |
