Birmingham Ornament(2011)
Overall, the idea is to make ethnicities, politics, races, nations - to make all of them turn into non-existent objects... ...akin to ovals, boxes, blobs, wardrobes! You might think he's really "someone", really a "representative of the people", but really just a representative of skirting boards, of coffee rings, nothing more. Overall, political invective's that should be perceived solely as poetic invective's. Overall, spreading geopolitics across geology and poetics. Like a question-Eskimo, dancing and waving his ribbons in the air, turns and changes on a pillar, becomes a question-Holocaust. In fact, "geopoetics" is a kind of a Holocaust seen as a choir, as an ensemblement, as an Eskimo.

The house is the characters' common space, but the question of ownership is distended, they don't all inhabit it in the same way. As the sequences progress, we don't find the same characters but the same interdependent relationships.
