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!

Monday & Tuesday- where is my mind?

the room is covered with a combination of Out, The Senior, JA News, X- Press and Have-A-Go News. Mainly Out, the room is very colourful. it's pride month so it's appropriate. we also learnt a lot about safe sex, were introduced to the Green gay, lesbian and bi candidates, found out about personalised seniors group travel, that 90 Australians die of bowel cancer every week and that August was a busy month for WA- Japan cultural exchange! we got kinda obsessive. Monday we did the floor and as far up the walls as we could reach. we covered all our stuff which was against the wall, we had to uncover the ladder when we decided on Tuesday we wanted to go all the way. we can't stop now. must reach the ceiling. it's difficult on the wall where all our stuff is, it's fragile and the ladder is a little unsturdy and not very high, we can't reach. we borrow a broom and a mop from the mini mart they provide for us yet again. we develop a technique, the corners masking taped , the piece of newspaper rests on the broom gently lifted up to position, the corners rubbed on, quickly turn the broom around and use the handle to stick them down. up the ladder, down the ladder. cursing, threatening the paper, we are frustrated but determined. the space is all consuming, suffocating, we smother the walls, our belongings, a chair, a stool, a witches hat and eventually the final consumption, the ladder. our hands are black, our feet are black, our necks are sore, but we achieved our goal. the space is completly transformed and we're not sure where we are anymore.
