(deviant)Artists: Giles Hinchcliff

For 72 hours during the first week of the festival, Giles Hinchcliff will be locked in a specially made shed, isolated from the world, his ability to communicate and take part in festival activities will be completely restricted.
This experiment of self-confinement is perhaps a metaphor for life itself; setting up home but never being happy, or just the journey; the movement from one place to another. Perhaps it’s simply about isolation, taking time-out to create a space for yourself. But when does that time-out stop being enjoyable and become a sentence? With this performance the artist hopes to find an answer to the question: is it possible to generate new ideas in a hermetically sealed environment?

The performance begins at 22.00 on Monday 16th and finishes at 22.00 on Thursday 19th.
Giles will also be performing ‘three birds in a box’ with Sayshun Jay and Matt Blackler, on the evening of Friday 13th July.
