Douglas Park's text for Aoife van Linden Tol's performance as part of 'Emblem - Deconstructed and Destroyed' at Trinity





Secretly hidden, incognito and undercover, terrain-wound and body-crater patiently wait dormant, during time passed away, throughout ominous cease-fire calm, before the imminent storm pending, advent well-prepared for.

Live-rail thunderbolt force-field strikes prey. Crashlanded shipwreck pile-ups collapse inwardly. But not spent. Detonated alchemical overreaction outburst erupts discovery.

All along this awhile, lightening-conductor target was really bait-laden trap, set and sprung, gotten ready to fall into, one-way only at that, no escape once caught. Upon delivery and arrival, burning ghost stains flameproof shield.

Grave given birth to comes alive. Ensuing growth, shrinkage and changes follow head-on collision impact.

Flat and shallow facade ends up as infinitely vast and full depths. Unique strangeness, beauty, magic, meaning and power haunt and lure.

Demolition-casualty becomes weather-generator. Thereafter, compulsory enforcement and infliction of broadcast and transmitted export produce and services.
