"So far I have not known anyone who has not governed some state. I am not talking about right honourable ministers, who really do govern, some for two or three years, others for six months, others for six weeks; I am talking about all those other men who, over supper or in their study, set out their systems of government, reform the army, the Church, the law and finance." - Voltaire

Abandoned Works (2010)

Trying to visualise the future, the map empties itself of information by removing all traces of the past in anticipation of the changes to come, a suggestion of the space through which the future will emerge; after demolition, before regeneration.

There was to have been a book too (called Retreat to the Bunker) but the text refused to resolve itself and the work had to be abandoned. Fragments exist, however, deposited in chronological order in the filing cabinet at the heart of the Abandoned Works installation; a possible narrative instead of a finished text, an aborted fiction:

The Utopian couldn’t settle with or within the world… always felt (deep down) that there’s something wrong with existence… a flaw in a direction no-one can identify. Has invested a great deal of time searching for a “gap” in reality that might offer a glimpse into a parallel universe

Etc.
