Pressing Empty on Vimeo.

Premiered in February 2010, Pressing Empty is a deep and eccentric exploration of loneliness, decisions, panic and running at the last minute.
The evening length work was inspired by an image of a bride alone for an inordinate amount of time - We wonder: why is she alone? how long has she been there?
