Mopping (The Technique)

By  Mia Roberts 2026

Filmed By Yannick Hammer

5+ hour durational performance mopping the stairs at South Stack Lighthouse. Located near my hometown of Holyhead, the performance uses absurd repetitive and futile acts of repair to address ways in which vulnerability and trauma is redirected, often via productivity and goal setting.
