so many broken things
BIFPA 2024

conor lecture theatre,ulster university, belfast
curated by s. johnston & s. mullen


So Many Brolken things was a 45 min lecture performance
where I used a visualiser to examine, project and discuss a set of broken objects. The objects acted as catalysts to cover a range of topics ranging from a vernacular critique of capalisisms' excesses to current affairs, to wonderment at celestial objects and the forces that govern them. With thanks to M. McIver, S. Mullen, S. Johnston & J. O' Gorman
