Party Lift

Sketch for a short conceptual film about chance and choice, and fun minor intervention into public space

Streamers, lift

Celebration, residue, Monty Hall problem

Departure, return

Playing with the vents, like streamers on a fan. Only one of the lifts has vents (the good/big one with the double door)

Celebrating that the lift is working

Also, studio experiments:

Making residue more obvious for installation (what was missed in X Comp Arts. Surely Pope L. has snuck in here?) This was actually a side effect of trying to produce icing using a Guinness bottle as a rolling pin using Delia’s method. I was intending to ice the brick, like this inedible tempting thing. I can’t make icing but I can do these two things. Inspired by casting, surely.

Vinegar as a readymade as in, “the work should contain some vinegar” (SS.) But actually I set about making a fuse and both probably aren’t needed.

Decoration, residue, disappearance

On review: I wanted a throw-y object. What about icing?
