My plot is the convergence of plot lines.
It observes and deals with the contact points between different stories and the physical settings that carry them, choreograph them, and divert them towards convergence with each other. When one story interferes with another, the developments can never be fully foreseen, and are sometimes not comprehended. Yet, they are the main generators of unimagined possibilities.
Inversing the centrifugal trajectory of the relationship between London and its dead, I propose to bring death care back into the heart of the city. A section of Waterloo viaduct becomes a space where one could say farewell to the deceased, and compose one’s feelings in relation to the loss. The memory of the dead wears the form of a mound of earth — which spills from above the viaduct into the street, and collides with life in London.
My plot starts with a roll of masking tape. Removing eights from the roll's perimeter, the expected mathematical trajectory was sabotaged — interfered by creating new contact points with the ground.
The defects of the tape finally generate an output - an illegible conversation between the deformed tape and its new ground, Judi's split keyboard.
