In 2015, at the end of a photography festival in Xiamen (China), Japanese photographer Daisuke Yokota Yokota burned a version of the installation Matter, which can be seen in the first room of this exhibition. He recorded the burning process with his camera as a sort of performance art that resulted in the book Matter / Burn Out… His photographs of the ‘cremation’ of one installation serve as the basis for a new one, in which he appears to use the resulting mountains of ash to recreate a new, autonomous work of art. This installation, Matter / Vomit, symbolises the enormous tidal wave of images that is poured over us every day and which barely even registers in our consciousness.1

Two men appeared at the top of the garden last Friday and cut down the elm and the sycamore – because they were pushing over the wall and the garage next to them. They said they had planning permission.
I’ve been going round neighbourhood trying to raise funds for the primary school again – 2 ladies in the hairdressers – Spring plants, a painting of daffodils one said she had done, old lino on floor, old hairdresser chairs.
How’s mum, and dad?
He’s deteriorating badly.
When I cut his hair, he sits strangely. It’s those new tablets.
