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. 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.
