Pleonasmos

Miyuki Kasahara

This site specific work is an installation reorganizing & reproposing the elements of St Paul Deptford’s Baroque decoration in particular the highly ornate plasterwork in the church using everyday objects & illumination. The Anglo catholic uses a style of presentation & ritual in which repetition & reiteration are part of the communication of faith. Repetition and duplication are a means of disseminating information. The installation takes the form of a processional, part of the service where the congregation rise and circle the church interior during the singing of first hymn. The title Pleonasmos the use of more words than are necessary considers a doubling up in real time. Often the sheer volume of people in the city requires a repetition of information just in order to reach the constant flow of those passing through. The peaceful interior of St Pauls allows time for that repetition to reverberate and slow so there is time to digest the information
