Over a seven day period Rich built and then dismantled a work in unit BG3 on the ground floor of The Galleries Shopping Centre in Bristol. This period was filmed using time-lapse photography.
The work was constructed from material sourced in the shopping centre. Its form was dictated by the properties of this material and Rich's attempt to locate and build towards the centre of the room using the outdated navigational method of dead reckoning, which uses your previous position, your estimated speed and your assumed direction to plot your current location. This method can easily become inaccurate as speed is not constant and drift cannot be accounted for - errors become compounded.
