transience;
Nude in an Interior
inside were vast, empty, fin de siècle rooms, echoing
windows stretching to the ceiling
architectural details drably adapted to the demands of modern living
thick dust, thick spider webs clinging to disuse
a vast regal stairwell
numbered doors in the upper rooms
light streaming in and penetrating the dark warren interior
distinct servant quarters listening behind doors
breathlessly up three floors to the roof
an audible voice, listening
16mm colour and black and white film transferred to single channel video with stereo sound
