An attempt at exhausting a place (in Edinburgh)
Selected drawings
In 1974 Georges Perec wrote the book An Attempt at Exhausting a Place in Paris, in which he spent three days in a cafe describing what he could see and hear. Alice Finbow, a London-based filmmaker and photographer, will take on Perec’s task: a woman in a different town and a different century, but with the same romantic inquiry into the image of the artist and his/her relationship with the world.
Alice sat in The Manna House for a week, observing the daily goings-on. Her observations where displayed on The Manna House’s wall, as drawings, photographs, recorded texts and other visual findings.
