Description Installation works by Christina Slon & Sue Callanan
Along with the installation, a performance was presented on May 17th. The performance was performed by drama and sculpture students from UNSW and directed by Christina Slon & Sue Callanan

"There are several performances sharing five minimalist forms/props which are both everyday and surreal. The piece explores the structuring of meaning through location and dislocation of the forms.
The forms are, to some extent, like etymons (the primary source of a word and its original signification) and wait for the sequence of action to attain meaning.
Progressively each performance adds a layer of connotation to the forms. This creates a plural reality, exposing the loading of language which is normally unseen."
