Shuffle, Deal, Play.

​A pack of 8 art cards are shuffled and dealt out to the players. 

Maybe they are more like Tarot cards, predicting a narrative of past-present-future. 

What do you see? Please feel free to re-arrange the order and tell me a story or mood. 

My game was conceived while researching and viewing Charlie Chaplin movies.

Also editing a short dramatic film about an aged tree and hard earth. 

I'm running both silent and sound moving pictures in my mind. 

I wonder if these drawings represent a parallel universe I travelled through last week. 

One where I filmed a dance under the Vaults on Leake Street. 

Searched for a tabby called Doorkins Magnificat at Southwark Cathedral. 

Laughed in Bay 56 under the Westway in a space re-claimed by the community.

Cried during the Grenfell public inquiry held at Millennium Gloucester Hotel. 

Dance, search, laugh, cry. 

I may be the author of this game, but recall that chant -  La mort de l'auteur.

​Shuffle the pack, deal the card, play the game.
