too many things happening to go into now, but here's a sample off the top of my head;
had a site visit in Room 315 at The Grand Hotel – originally planned for two days, but had to fit everything into one day and work into the night.
had a minor altercation with the Activities Officer, who hadn't been told about the project.
going in circles with ideas about what to do with the bathroom. It's a totally different configuration from what I'd imagined it might be, and I'm unsure what to do.
one of the solutions I tried, involved lying in a sparkly dress in a bath full of clear balloons filled with water. I am verging on being phobic of balloons at the best of times. I was clearly becoming overtired and a little deranged.
tested a video projection in the window of the room, visible from the road – made some decisions based on the things that look best, but now re-evaluating those decisions in terms of semiotics.
tested 5 short films of close-up details of my face, which will play on a loop on tiny screens embedded in the bed covers – initial feedback from friends is that they look quite rude…
complicated conversation with hotel receptionist – I want them to sell me an old worn out hotel bed cover. The concept of someone wanting an old bed cover is too difficult for them to understand.
had a weepy moment watching older people dancing in the ballroom.
got a new polaroid camera and film – loving the results
the usual argy bargy at home when I want more help with washing and tidying – he doesn't want to prioritise it because we are busy. I want him to prioritise it because I am busy. This feels like an enormous issue.
went for an interview for a freelance post to run some training but my mind and body were both elsewhere (my mind on my art, my body suddenly chose the beginning of the interview to to menstruate unexpectedly). Don't think I got the job.
