Dramatic Treatment for A Million Lies; Once and Only Revealed After Death (Triangle of Need)

Two folk singers are presented to an audience, a male singer and a female singer; they present three songs: an email scam is reinterpreted into a fake language that uses word forms from Swedish, Japanese and The Muppets, it has been written in the style of a man with incredible wealth whose desire is to resurrect a lost species, perhaps Neanderthal, his obsession with this recreation is non-specific; the second song is based on the life of the gun heiress Sarah Winchester and a proposal that the psychic who told her her fortune, which saw her indulge her wealth in a non-stop architectural project in San Jose, California, was actually a con artist seeking a vast share of her fortune; the third song is a new setting of the sea shanty Shallow Brown, from an arrangement by Percy Grainger and HE Piggott from 1908/1910. Shallow Brown, who was a sailor, and of a multi-racial background, known then as ‘challo’, and ostracized for his identity, was notorious for his philandering at different ports of call during his adventures at sea. It was claimed he stole the identity of different people at each port of call allowing him to create elaborate narratives for himself, employing these pretences to seduce women. The setting changes to Shallow Brown as he finds himself in the ship’s hold for an unnamed crime. Meanwhile Percy Grainger’s musical notes from his arrangement of the shanty are read, indicating that Brown received his moniker because he was shallow in his heart. In the hold Brown imagines the life of an immensely wealthy woman who he would seduce, fall in love with and eventually steal the fortune from, his time in the cell allows his imagination to run riot, however he is unaware that he is actually dreaming about the life of a real person, Sarah Winchester, and he has now entered her imagination. Sarah has become a prisoner to superstition, incredible wealth and a desire to remove herself from the public scrutiny, she indulges her every whim and lives out a life saturated by her superstition, she is motivated by a desire for immortality and conducts daily séances that reveal her future. She understands that the spirits killed by the gun that made her family fortune are returning to haunt her and during a psychic reading in Boston is informed that she must never stop building her home in order to protect her from these spirits; her home by the time of her death has become vastly complex, labyrinthine and enormously indulgent, the result of 38 years of non-stop additions, remodelling and adaptations. Sarah, on her death, leaves her fortune to a niece who receives the news of her new fortune in a letter delivered by Sarah’s family lawyers. The letter is read, but it is actually an email scam from the present and it has been rewritten attempting to share a ‘fortune’ of $20.50. A series of spirits in the form of Scotch and Bourbon are drunk by the narrator. The email scam read is the same one used by the American artist Catherine Sullivan from her work Triangle of Need, which the narrator viewed in New York, and also wrote reviews of, published in a series of online and print magazines. The spirits he is drinking are actually hallucinogenic and he enters the imagination of Catherine Sullivan. At the same moment a woman on screen reads out the dosage of tranquilizers she has taken to stem the severity of her panic attacks brought on by the stresses associated by her bullying repulsive employer. Sullivan’s dramatic treatment of Triangle of Need is read briefly concentrating on James Deering an early 20th century industrialist in Miami who built an opulent estate from his huge wealth; he is also a film collector and his wealth allows him to retreat from real life yet viewing it through films from the Pathescope collection of short films, in now redundant film formats. The films show normal scenes from everyday life, scenes from anthropology, just general footage. The narrator mentions an ice-skater seen in the original Triangle of Need film by Catherine Sullivan and also a similar ice-skater in a film made by the Scottish artist Wendy McMurdo. All the while we see scenes from Frank Capra’s film It’s A Wonderful Life, re-imagined by the artist Lewis Holleran, who has removed the scenes which see the central character George Bailey ‘experience’ life as though he had never existed. Holleran’s film appears in the list of films James Deering collected. A different man named Deering appears, a criminal, and death row inmate, who allows an experiment on his heart to take place at the moment of his execution. In this moment he imagine a life outside of crime, confinement and imprisonment. He understands at this moment of death, the shallowness of his heart. These ideas of confinement and desire find themselves within one of Sarah Winchester’s daily séances, none of which have ever been recorded. A second scam email is read, this time a job offer to join the crew of a ship that will sail the ocean, the ship is apparently the property of a company that specializes in indulging the whims of the wealthy, meanwhile the perpetrator of the scam alludes to the good quality nature of its proposed victim. The action moves to Moonbase Alpha from the TV series Space 1999. The crew of this space station based on the moon have been blown out of earth’s orbit and are now adrift in the universe. Alone and isolated they plan to inhabit a new planet. Years into their journey a crew member believes he knows where they can find a habitable planet, but the Captain of the space station is unconvinced and secures any attempts to locate this, as he believes, fictional planet. He locks down any tracking devises, any navigation devices and any technology that would allow them to scan for this new home. He fears raising hopes and desires of the crew members. Suspicious of his Captain’s motivations and now without the technology to seek this planet the crew member devises a séance to find it location. The séance proves futile and the obsessed crew member, now realizing he has been hallucinating due to extended confinement, demands that all the screens and technologies are switched off forever. Finally, a new character appears, the disgraced New York Times journalist Jayson Blair, who was found to have falsified and/or plagiarized his news stories; he describes the moment when his employers confront him with his deceptions.

7. Shallow Brown
I couldn’t leave the hold, and the stench smothered me like a blanket. I felt the razor-sharp pins on their chins cut me in pricks. I bled and the room became darker and lighter and then darker and lighter. I wrote on the wall. I counted days. I sang songs to myself.
What songs did you sing?
The story of my life. How I was born and brought up.
Can you sing me that song?
I am singing it.
From: Land of Dreams, Chapter One
Words: Trad arr Harding
Music: sung by Mr. John Perring at Dartmouth, January 1908, noted by H.E. Piggott and Percy Grainger in The Journal of The Folk-Song Society #12

This work, a multi-channel video and performance, commingles complex synchronised narratives, biographies and re-enactments investigating lies, need and imitation to scrutinize identity and its theft.

100 words

A Million Lies; Once and Only Revealed After Death is a multi-channel video installation and performance, which deploys numerous references, fake identities, email scams, archetypes and biographies, texts and participants to scrutinize identity and its theft through an intense investigation on lies, need, deception, belief, imitation, superstition, deliberate misinformation equated with multiple theatre and cinematic genres, techniques and traditions. Using improvised performance-led processes it considers the fragility of identity and memory from external physical or technological sources or through the materialization of internal psychological or physiological distress. The work collides abrasively these narratives and chronologies using live and pre-recorded performance.

A Million Lies; Once and Only Revealed After Death is a multi-channel video installation and performance which orchestrates exceedingly complex, abrasive and synchronised sets of ideas surrounding lies, imitation, deception, need, wealth, desire, belief, superstition and resources/means. Citing Nicolas Bourriaud’s Postproduction thesis its mirrors a contemporary alignment of visual art practice with DJ practice assembling and re-deploying pre-existing materials with the arbitrary, disordered, abstract. disorientating condition of the exploiting the ‘search engine’ to generate an intense narrative of collided, collage-led, editorialised extracts and references. The performance collides and synchronizes live and pre-recorded materials cued to a multi-channel video installation devised by a group of artist and performance collaborators who have worked with Alex Hetherington since November 2008. The story revolves round the correlation of four central inter-related narratives and artworks: the biography of eccentric gun heiress Sarah Winchester and the heir to her fortune and the Winchester Suite, a video installation by the artist Jeremy Blake with the falsified narratives of email scams, where a huge fortune is discovered following a violent death. The second narrative exploits and re-enacts elements of American artist Catherine Sullivan’s film works The Chittendens and Triangle of Need equating their distressing, disorientating sensibilities with the progressive dismantling of the memory and identity of Alex Hetherington’s mother. Alongside this are related references to the psychology and consequences of lying, the employment of disjointed chronologies, and extracts from selected correspondingly fake artworks, films, theatre and music, continuing to, at once, establish and dismantle identity and its values.

Alex Hetherington is an air-head, with no personality and a shameless desire to be someone else.

A green isle in the sea, love (The original text is hopelessly out of date)
A fountain and a shrine (there is still time brother)
At the end of these strands of paste (20.5 Million US dollars)
My private wish begins to flake (Sarah Winchester)
My purple pearl, again Eulalie (there is still time brother)

And so, all my days are trances (Poses and fever)
All my nightly dreams (Ninja version)
Are where thy grey eye glances (Clusterbomb shrapnel)
And where the footstep gleams (Try to conceal erections and excitement)
In what ethereal dances (Ok ready let’s do it)
By what eternal streams do you taunt me Eulalie (Merril Lynch)

Veiled in white a form no man can discover (Hyde and Hyde Attorneys at Law)
Despite the tears which drip all over (To indulge in this beauty only tempts further debt)
There the traveler meets aghast (A uno uno dos tres quarto)
Sheeted memories of the past, and calls them Eulalie (Royal Bank of Scotland)

Mother Green spoke more and more of ****, in fact as if here were a real person, a person sort of like Shallow Brown, who was visiting them but wouldn’t be permanent. A kind of transitory somebody. Yes, like Shallow Brown had been. Sometimes Viola wondered if she and Mother Green had only dreamed there had been a Shallow Brown. And Viola often thought that Mother Green might be having the same thought. They were both waiting for something. And Brown had intercepted the wait. But now he was gone, As ****, said: they would have no occupation, but to wait together.

A toast to 1977, refernces from the workshop to be made into a video, performance, thing, photograph, nasty intervention... this will be meaningless to everyone but the other participants.

This observation connects numerous references: the date of a Nan Goldin photograph, an observation of a prescribed time period, and therefore a timeline, the act of toasting an event, red wine and other liquids drunk during the three days of this workshop, and a reference to on and off, described in the given text and to the act of switching on and off the lights depending on what was being viewed on screen.

On and off/the screen gave rise also to the opening of the film The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, which shows a dead body in flash photography accompanied by the burning out of the flash bulb, which is referenced in the text by mention of watching a scary movie. (Audio). I also wanted to use something which included Coca-Cola drunk by some of the participants and to a mention of Australia (where one of the group originates). Which led me to the post-apocalyptic narrative of Neville Shute’s motion picture On the Beach, which is set in Australia after a nuclear holocaust destroys the northern hemisphere before it too is destroyed by an impending nuclear winter, and were the survivors follow a cryptic morse code message, believing it to have come from a group of survivors, only to find it is being created by a bottle of Coca-Cola nudged by a breeze against a morse transmitter. The last message seen on the screen of this film is There is Still Time. Brother, seen by a line of survivors waiting to take a suicide liquid.

So , here’s to 1977. (everyone to take a drink)

Let me start by introducing myself, I am MADAM. BELEN ALEJANDRINA,
CREDIT ACCOUNTS OFFICER BANCO DE ORO UNIVERSAL BANK. I am writing you
this letter based on the latest development at my bank, which I will
like to bring to your personal edification. I am a top official in
charge of client accounts in (EQUITABLE PCI BANK) which is now BANCO DE
ORO UNIVERSAL BANK inside the Philippines the merger was late 2007.
In 2001, my client was going through a horrendous divorce in the United
States of America and was on the verge of losing most of his estate to
his vicious and diabolical wife. As a result of this alarming
predicament, my client came to me with a very brilliant idea. He
transferred some funds, ten million two hundred thousand dollars
($10.2m) to a fixed deposit account in my bank under an alias which only
the two of us knew about as the confidentiality of the matter was
necessary for his protection.

Due to his untimely death in early 2002, the funds have been sitting in
the account ever since and will continue to do so perpetually unless we
do something about it. This is where you come in. I located you through
an agency that helps seek people by their email. My client did not
declare any next of kin in his official papers including the paper work
of his bank deposit. Against this backdrop, my suggestion to you is that
I would like you as a foreigner to stand as the next of kin to our
client so that you will be able to receive his funds. I want you to know
that I have had everything planned out so that we can come out
successful. I have contacted an attorney that will prepare the necessary
document that will back you up as the next of kin to my client. All that
is required from you at this stage is for you to provide me with your
Full Names and Address and telephone number so that the attorney can
commence his job.

NEW YORK TIMES FAKE

2008-11-12T15:35:00.001-08:00

A fake edition of the New York Times announcing the end of the Iraq war has been handed out to commuters in the US.

More than 1m free copies of the 14-page "special edition" newspaper were distributed mainly in the cities of New York and Los Angeles.

Another bogus story was about all Americans being given free health care.

A liberal group called the Yes Men, well known in the US for its practical jokes, claimed responsibility for the elaborate prank.

The fake paper - dated 4 July 2009 - had a motto on its front page which read "all the news we hope to print".

The hoax was accompanied by a web site that mimicked the look of The New York Times's real website.

A page of the spoof site contained links to dozens of liberal organisations, which were also listed in the print edition.

The fake edition surprised commuters, many of whom took the free copies thinking they were legitimate.

Later, the Yes Men issued a statement claiming responsibility.

"In an elaborate operation six months in the planning, 1.2m papers were printed at six different presses and driven to pre-arranged pickup locations."

The statement added that thousands of volunteers helped to distribute the fake edition.

A spokeswoman for the newspaper, Catherine Mathis said "This is obviously a fake issue of The Times. We are in the process of finding out more about it."
