Unexploded Bomb

Unexploded Bomb

Work:: Unexploded Bomb (S83608232)

Unexploded Bomb is an eerily beautiful exploration of dark and delightful stories remembered by forgotten objects. It weaves a spellbinding story creating unexpected characters from animated domestic items, clothes and furniture to explore the threat of an unexploded bomb in both real and metaphorical terms.

Production:: (T0679960139)

Commissioned by and developed at BAC. Supported Artists 2002. Running time 70mins. A man enters the ruins of a family home to disarm a bomb. When he finds it buried in the basement, he listens - but instead of ticking he finds heartbeat. Working against the clock he unearths family secrets, disembodied characters, a childhood tragedy. A dark uneasy world is unleashed where dresses dance and chairs reveal stories that were best left forgotten. Welcome to the Ding Foundation's world, where a drawer from a factory in Estonia, floor boards from North London or driftwood from a Moroccan beach can become the basis of narrative and characters.
