Mapping the lost city- part 1
Our performance will take place at the Usher and Collection in the surrounding gardens. Our main idea is to place an “anti-gallery” outside the museum placing lost, broken or abandoned objects around the gardens displayed as art pieces just like you would see inside the museum. We will also use headphones to help guide you round the “anti-gallery”. The things you will be able to hear from the headphones will be from texts that have inspired us to find the lost abandoned and broken objects. These texts include the fall of the house of usher by Edgar Allen Poe, The New York trilogy by Paul Auster, and also our own inspired description of our performance which we put together ourselves. We have been around the city of Lincoln to find the objects; we managed to find these lost, abandoned and broken objects mainly around the city centre up towards Portland Street. The objects will be divided in sub groups which the audience will be able to put them into themselves they can decided what they are. We will be part of the performance by reperforming with piece we have found.
