Hello, Welcome to the virtual realm of our Site Fiction project. We are an artist collective experimenting in Perth city to activate empty or disused spaces, and engaging and interacting with any potential audience (you!). We are currently inhabiting the former Arcane Bookshop (212 William St Perth) until 3rd October. During this we will be undertaking a series of performances in the shop front. This blog will be regularly updated with STUFF, so stay tuned!

The shop presents us with three stages of space.

glass
interior space
back wall

I - I

How to simultaneously use all three has been a challenge for us. Something which is responsive to spatial situation given - a shop, only accessible visually from the outside.

The screen hangs in the central interior space. Translucent it divides the room yet doesn’t block out the back wall. The projector casts our shadows onto it which we inturn cut away allowing a shadow of our original shadow to be cast on the back wall. Our figure is then outlined from outside the glass further playing with traditional hierarchies of spatial organisation inside/outside, front/back, center/periphery.

it is simultaneously something & nothing, an illusion, a representation & reality.
