Absent Don't Look Back In the Begining Was the End One Step Forward, One Step Back Who Goes ThereAbsent
Synopsis:
Threading its way through the maze-like basements of Shoreditch Town Hall, ABSENT is a multi-layered journey mixing film, installation and a haunting soundtrack by Lapalux to create an increasingly labyrinthine dream world that merges past, present and future. ABSENT is partly inspired by The Duchess of Argyll's residence at a central London hotel from the 1970s until the 80s, when she was finally evicted having run out of friends and credit.

Synopsis:
as you wander through the building's atmosphEric interior, you will experience an accumulation of sounds, shadows, whispers, modelled landscapes, musical fragments and fleeting film images, conveying a heightened, dreamlike state that lingers long in the subconscious. Orpheus and eurydice, one of the greatest of all ancient myths, is about the perils of looking back. the moment he turns his head to see eurydice slipping back down into the Underworld, Orpheus is locked into limbo - yearning for the past, unable to exist in the present and refusing to face the future.
