“ETCETERA” lifts a corner on the memory of a house, using text and video to create a space of things remembered, not by us, but by the walls and rooms, so we watch as the lavish contents of the house pass through the curtains, their descriptions floating on a dark surface, illuminated by the window beyond. Using the 1897 Auction catalogue as raw material, the focus of the work is on the house’s lavish “aesthetic and artistic” furnishings, described in the catalogue’s introduction as “Superb and costly high-art furniture of the most beautiful description ….”. The house today seems filled with mystery, and some of that is slowly being unravelled as more and more of the interiors are being revealed. This is what is most compelling, the slow, fastidious process of history being discovered and retold.
