Enter Slowly is an evolving project initiated around the idea of reconstructions and the relationship between the real and the ‘fabricated'. Following on from my re-enactment at the ICA in 2007. In 2009 I filmed inside the 1:1 reconstruction of le Corbusier’s Cabanon in RIBA and that summer, took a pilgrimage to Roquebrune where the ‘real’ Cabanon is and where it sits next to Eileen Gray’s stunning and iconic E1027 house. I became fascinated by the relationship between Corbusier and Gray, and his obsession with her modernist house. The history and story of the house and characters wove itself into a long and complicated history of people, relationships, ego, desire, obsession, death and murder. This extended and multi-faceted narrative seemed reminiscent of Agatha Christie’s murder mystery Endless Night, in which an ambitious young man obsesses about and finally realises his dream of having a brilliant architect, Santonix, design and build a modern dream-house in a remote setting overlooking the sea. Enter Slowly (title taken from wall text that Gray had stencilled in the entrance of E1027), is a multi-media project exploring these combined narratives & myths (fact & fiction) and woven into a multi-faceted, non-narrative work.
