Taken from LUX website: ‘ in the house of names’ is a moving image work that takes the clown and the magician as devices to consider the liberatory. The work applies the poetic and conceptual strategies of the crease and the fold to move through the fugitive geography of a sleep cycle. Walking through stages one to four of sleep, the film is inhabited by (and inhabits) an ‘impossible protagonist’. Amidst the land-mind-body disintegration of the dream as a site and realm of exile, this impossible protagonist forms a vehicle and question in the work, escaping language to think out of time with the image.’
