Installation View
Found footage of an animal doorstop holding open a bedroom door accompanied by an ominous bass soundscape. This gradually builds in intensity until the sound of keys and the front door opening, at which point the score cuts and conversation can be heard from elsewhere in the flat. The gaping shark slippers seen under the bed were also present in the space, as well as an iPhone on the floor displaying fractured footage of the bedside lamp in the background possibly moving.
