In a dark room, a crafted lighting device animates a selection of handmade, transformed objects. A soundtrack, consisting of human voices reciting a text, is enhanced by electronic, instrumental and vocal samples as well as sounds produced by some of the objects. At times narrative, abstract, surreal, the text refers to the staged objects by speculating on their presence, their significance, their consequence in the world. This loop of information, incessant, immersive and offbeat, provides context for the seven objects. This place is an illusion. There, some underlying activity is taking place, materializing here as a theatre of objects.
