9 video monitors, each running a three hour tape in which short descriptive
fragments of text appear from the otherwise blank screens every few
minutes and remain visible only long enough to be read. There is a soundtrack
derived from water sounds playing at very low volume on each monitor which produces a diffused generalised soundscape throughout the installation. Each narrative fragment
is part of a longer text, but the time delay built into the piece discourages
a complete reading.
Reconfigured online as 'the remains of lionel
love'.
