The Future Looks Bright

  • above the Oxford Arms 265 Camden High Street London United Kingdom (map)

A woman, who does not know how many times she has
attempted suicide and who is having an internal reckoning
about this act, makes some inferences about her life in exile. As
a result of these inferences, she redesigns suicide as a conscious
act in front of the audience.

Aware of the socio-economic and cultural codes passed down
from her grandmother to her mother and from her mother to
her, just before her planned jump, she starts to think about
what she remembers from her childhood. 

While trying to analyze her mother's life, she has
also been searching for a meaning to her own life for years.
Death is an idea inherited from her mother. This
structure, where action and inaction turn into each other, turns
into an inextricable paradox. Just like the interpretation of the
unknown of life in a coffee fortune.
